Like Hallie, I immediately went to Amazon and looked it, and I'm looking at the different options. I still love children's books, so it will be for me, but I will share it with my younger granddaughter. It must be absolutely thrilling to have your book taken to the stage and performed. You are a great spinner of tales for all ages.

I had forgotten, and of course that was before I knew you, so I never made the connection. <br /><br />The number of authors I know who have had a work adapted for the large or small screen is rather high - but I've never known anyone who had a play come out of their book!
