Let's Talk
Wouldn't it be amazing if there really was a hat we could wear and easily communicate with animals? I have a sweet curly-tailed lizard buddy who lives under the front hedge by the sidewalk. She visits me on the terrace nearly every day at noon. I haven't seen her wear a wristwatch, but she is usually right on time, knowing I'm waiting to toss her a few dried crickets. She bounds through a crack in the gate, peers over the front step edge and skitters my way. After three years of this routine, she doesn't have much fear of my daunting size compared to her diminutive eight inches from snout to tail. Yes, I do talk to her. Yes, my neighbors think I'm crazy. Yes, I wish she would talk back. But maybe she'd just complain about what's always on the menu.
Book Excerpt
Maxzyne and the Old Horse Theatre
“I guess you only understand me when I wear the hat!” she screams at the horse. She stretches one arm toward the black hat and quickly grabs it by the brim. The horse pays no attention. Instead, he continues his frantic gallop down the deserted street. It takes only a second to jam the hat back over her braids. She holds on to the hat with one hand and screeches, “Stop! Can you hear me? I said, ‘Stop!’”
