Thanks for giving coverage to the Seattle International Children's Festival. For me it is a true treasure of the Northwest, and is well deserving of notice and attendance. Every year they manage to have some standout performers you don't get to see anywhere else such as Petrona Martinez and Reem Kalani and then when you think of all the performers you mentioned, you realize the breadth and depth of the art they present is staggering!
Cheers!
