“I have an electronic copy of this book which I treasure. Joanne has done a fantastic job writing the story in such a way that it can be enjoyed by all ages!

v I loved reading it myself and can just imagine reading the story and sharing the great illustrations with preschoolers.

v Great for first time readers who are not yet ready for chapter books, even for young readers interested in protecting wildlife and our environment would enjoy this I'm sure.

v Valuable information about our wildlife and environment, told in such a beautiful way.

I have read it twice now and adore the illustrations, which compliment the story so perfectly.”

—Jackie Coulson Clements

 

“Thanks to the world of Facebook I encountered your beautiful book in one of the comments you made online on one of the animal welfare networks we are clearly both active on, so I joined the book's group with a view to bulk-buying it for younger relatives and friends with young children (or about to!).

So saying, now that I know roughly I need seventeen copies so I have a few spare for any more little ones in future, including one day my own.

Greatly looking forward to buying your book and supporting the wonderful work you have started and I look forward to doing my bit to spread the word to the next generation!  You are an inspiration!”

—Vanessa Threapleton-Horrocks, Notting Hill, England

 

“Loved getting to know Suzie, despite the plight of her species. Once my grandkids are a little older, I'll read this to them and then donate the book to my local library. Well done, Joanne.” 

—Gretchen Kelbaugh, documentary filmmaker and children’s book author of “Lollipopsicles.”
