“I was able to share this book with several friends who have children, grandchildren and students who struggle with managing their emotions, especially during the holidays. This book is cleverly written with a Christmas theme while communicating strategic ways to help children process and increase awareness of their emotions. I shared it with a teacher who specifically helps children with emotional processing and she has read it with her students. I have shared it with a ministry who helps families with children in foster care and on all fronts it has encouraged them. This is a must have for professionals and families as a resource and a helpful tool.” — Review for Santa’s Workshop: A Tale of Christmas Emotions
“This book is beautifully written and illustrated! It carries an important message for children overwhelmed by the many sounds we experience in every moment of each day and the overstimulation it causes, but it's also a good reminder for adults to take moments and enjoy silence. The techniques and strategies the author describes are useful for everyone! Thank you for such a beautiful book!” — Review for Emma’s Symphony of Silence
“Love that this book shares a story that encourages a child with ADHD that others have the same challenges and find solutions to help, but also help the parent with strategies listed at the back of the book to help their child!!! This book also is great to read with children who know children who have ADHD to help them understand the struggles of others. The other books that this author, who is an OT herself who works with children, writes about conditions children may struggle with are great too. She has written one for children with auditory overstimulation and who struggle with processing emotions. These books are a great resource for professionals and for families.” — Review for Prince Oliver’s Quest for Focus
