Hi, Allie,

Hi, Allie,

My name is Michiko Hedden.  I'm a sixty six year old Japanese lady.  I came to America in 1996 with no English.  My husband and I adopted a cat who spoke fluently Japanese and French.
From the time he disappeared I have a struggled with depression.  Hyp 1/2 has been my best therapy.


Sometimes when I get depressed my husband reads to me in bed from your book until I go to sleep.  When I wake up, I'm encouraged and renewed.

"Parp" has become part of our personal language. 

By the way we were in France recently I was surprised to find your book there.

The French title is just "Hyperbole".      I hope you enjoy my version "simple dog" and "helper dog".
