“We LOVED your book. The boys asked me to read it again, which they never do! They also loved that it was signed to them, thank you so much for thinking of that. We will definitely be sharing and recommending to others! It is so beautifully written and illustrated, the details – the face on the storm, the raised silver letters on the cover, the food label names, the ending and learning what the kids grow up to be – so great. And the message is clear and easy for kids to pick up on – helping our neighbors is the best thing to do!” ~ L.M., Mom of two boys
