I figured she wouldn't go near my book...(now she won't put it down, says it's "inspirational"...) Dominique says (and she wanted me to forward this for her...read it with a strong French accent) " When I start looking at ze book, I cannot put it down. It is not overwhelming. Yes, there are some sad expressions on the faces of some patients. But little children cannot understand the hospital, when a parent reappears, all is forgotten, and the child is safe again. The book is wonderful, partly because the pictures give relief, as...I am going home now. As an adult I know that those children need to be in the hospital...to be cured. The book shows you a balanced view of hospitalized children and they obviously trust the photographer, who is also their doctor. This is a book that celebrates ze children and their courage..."
