I like that she sent me a reason why she was rejecting. I wish they would all do that! The feedback is nice. From the agent:
"I love the concept of your manuscript and spent some extra time considering your project. I also really enjoyed the other stories and illustrations on your website. That being said, our interests and tastes are so alike that some of my own projects as a writer are similar. As much as I adore your creativity and talent, I think it would be a conflict of interest. For that reason, I'll step aside but thank you for considering me and best of luck with your future queries!"
