"I don't think I've ever seen such a perfect example of making yummy lemonade out of some really rotten lemons as Alastair Moock's excellent new CD. At a time when he was most helpless as a parent, he did what he could as a musician to create something to help families in his family's position. It's a wonderful album."

Testimonials

"I could not imagine music that would speak to this experience the way this does. It is a real gift. There is something comforting about listening to music that is both beautiful and able to express the painful, terrifying and sometimes isolating experience we share.I felt less alone listening to it."
- Shannon, mom to Nico (age 2)

"I will never forget seeing Alastair’s 'When I Get Bald' video for the first time this spring. I watched it as someone who has been working closely with pediatric cancer patients for over ten years, and was overcome with emotion. Mostly, I laughed hysterically as I watched, but tears were streaming down my face the entire time, because I was so deeply relieved and ecstatic that someone had finally gotten it right… I so desperately wish that this resource had been available for my own sassy, spunky daughter, who would have delighted in the fact that someone truly understood how hard, weird, funny, and strangely beautiful her own cancer experience was."
- Beecher Grogan, Director, Lucy's Love Bus

"Mariah was a bit down yesterday. We decided to play the CD — before I knew it, we were both singing and dancing!"
- Yadira Jimenez, aunt to Mariah (age 9)

"Monday's performance was truly awesome. It was impossible not to laugh, cry, and sing along. Alastair really captures the essence of the cancer journey and presents it in beautiful music. He has turned family trauma into a gift for many to enjoy."
- Dr. Anders Kolb, Pediatric Hematology/Oncology, Nemours Hospital for Children

"Mr Moock, you and Clio are our inspirations. Thank you for lifting my little girl's spirit."
- Adriana Luna-Cisneros, mom to Itzel
