The Year of the Snake:
Tales from the Chinese Zodiac
"Lily and Suzie show not only each other, but also Lily's grandparents and the farm, what a couple of friends can do when they put their heads together and think up some creative solutions to some interesting (and fiery!) problems!"
- Northshire Book Blog
The Woollyhoodwinks vs. the Dark Patch
"In the opening line and in much of the story, I could hear the voice of the great Frank Oz. Though it was also filled with many beautiful turns of phrase and was certainly a lyrical joy to read aloud…The artwork in the book is perhaps my favorite thing of all, a blend of traditional illustration and fabric crafts that have been photo-shopped in. It has a warmth and depth to it that I find very appealing."
