Praise for Arianna and the Strawberry Tea
"You know you have a little winner when your daughter wants it read to her three times in a row."
Kathie Lee Gifford, Live! With Regis & Kathie Lee
"My mom read your story to me, and I told her I'd like to be like Arianna for a while. She likes to have fun."
--Cassidy Gifford
"Arianna's spunk charms everyone from the doorman to the chef and starts a chain reaction which alters centuries of tradition. Highly recommended."
--Children's Bookwatch
"In a world where children have so little control over their surroundings, it is fun to see a story where a child can make a difference."
--The Gazette, Colorado Springs
Favorite Fan Letter:
"The day you came, I was off sick so I didn't get to meet you. I was very sad because I like writing stories and if I don't become famous, I'd like to become a writer."
--Teresa, East London
