"Within a single hour, the children and adults sitting on the floor and tables were taken from the jungles of Haiti to the icy igloos of Alaska, only to end up on Alabama's Tombigbee River. They were riveted to the voices, faces and sound effects that Cogan creates so seamlessly."
-Lesley Wright, Los Angeles Times
