We believe our cats’ message of solving challenges peacefully is recognized as valuable and that children deserve to hear it. We hope you agree! A sequel (saving beach life) and a young adult novel (about war and peace) are coming to life.

Also in the News...

“The kindness of the human characters and the good faith underlying the cats’ hurt feelings create a secure world in which kids can feel comfortable discussing their own feelings toward others, and how they can be resolved constructively. As the world shrinks and technology brings people closer, the lessons at the heart of Sunny and Wondrous are more relevant than ever. The knowledge of how to share, how to get along and how to avoid turning fear into anger are as important for people as they were for two little cat cousins on an immortal Thanksgiving.” –Review by Mary K. Monahan, Author

       “Sunny and Wondrous, Cat Cousins is a spunky book about considering each other’s feelings, working through conflict to live in peace and harmony. Just as when we purchase toys for children, we hope there will be a benefit from the play, the benefit from this book is a combination of awareness and an osmotic sense of conflict resolution.” –Review by Diane M. Schuller www.dianeschuller.com

“...enthusiastically recommended for young readers year-round, and a welcome addition to children’s library collections.” –James A. Cox, Editor, Children’s Bookwatch, www.midwestbookreview.com

“The myriad issues confronting our world prompted the sisters to write a book that would convey how important it is for all people—from preschoolers to government leaders—to learn to practice peaceful resolution of our differences.” -A.K. Whitney, Long Beach Press-Telegram, Long Beach, CA
