As a seasoned educator, parent, and grandparent, I would certainly recommend this book to other parents and teachers. I look forward to future tales from this author's heart-led pen. What a great book!" - Julie Nierenberg

AWE-MAZING A story every child should read

What I'm trying to say is begin within

"WOW, not since The Giving Tree has a message so profound been aimed at children who need to learn it before they develop bad habits of thought! Tamara's art and colors and loving message exudes her loving intent to all!! It is a jewel in the desert for sure!" - O-Shen Christ

Especially good for kids with challenges (and who doesn't have challenges?)

"This book is AWESOME, especially for special needs kids. It's beautiful with a great message. I've read a lot of books like this and the moral seems to always be 'and then one day, they could!' But a book that tells kids they are OK even if they can't is a rare treat. Thank you Tamara Levitt!" - Shasta M. Kearns Moore. More
