I’ve always been very affected by music … [When] my father died, I used to just listen to the songs that he listened to a lot and it really helped me through it. So then I started to look up music therapy which is a very powerful tool … and I thought this would be a lovely way to get the importance [of music] across to kids. It was a nice way for us to get an undercurrent of seriousness into a beautiful story about a boy and his dog.
