MidWest Book Review

OFF THE WALL has been reviewed by the MidWest Book Review. 

Here's an excerpt: "....The expressively shaped and colored print of versed text rolls right through a process of self discovery and expressions, helped by the colorful caricature (in miniature) illustrations. "Off the Wall" is sure to be a hit among elementary and older children facing confusing questions about self-image and the nature and nurturing of friendships. The mirror-like cover of "Off the Wall" is an eye-catcher and a good clue to the truth at the center of the story."

It has certainly been a very exciting week. Thank you to the Montclair Public Library, Watchung Book Sellers, Aunt Jean's Toys and Treats and the Montclair Community Pre-K for helping me to celebrate the launch of OFF THE WALL. What a thrill to read my story to such wonderful, and receptive audiences!

Please join me at Storypeoplepress.com this Wednesday at 8:00 pm for my first ever live web chat. I will be happy to answer any questions about writing and publishing OFF THE WALL. Tierra Jackson, the illustrator, will join the conversation at 9:00. Hope to see you then!

A visit with the Montclair Community Pre-K

Thank you to the Montclair Community Pre-K for inviting me to read OFF THE WALL with your classes today. I was so impressed by how well the children listened. They are only 3 and 4 years old but were totally engaged with the story. I had a wonderful time!
