What reviewers said

Praise for FOX THE TIGER: “The overarching message of self-love is a good one, but the no-fuss acceptance of changing identities in text and dialogue is even better…. Feel-good, make-believe fun.”
Kirkus Reviews
Praise for FOX THE TIGER: “A humorous ending provides a positive message of self-acceptance.”
School Library Journal
Praise for FOX IS LATE: “Simple, repetitive text paired with comical character illustrations rendered in pencil, watercolor, and crayon, make this an accessible story for emergent readers.”
