"I liked the part where she floated away on her kite. I liked when the caterpillars danced and when Aya and her grandad danced, and when her grandad fell asleep. It was magical when the little seedlings popped out. The changing seasons were so pretty.
They removed leaves from plants and the flowers came out. They asked the audience to clap and stomp and make sounds to make a thunderstorm and it sounded like a real one and the lights flashed and it was so cool.
It was cool when there was a swarm of butterflies too." Luna Rama (aged seven)
