  This wonderful Children’s book is for people of all ages. Monica has woven pastimes of childhood treasures into this story’s Coastal environment to portray a magical world...this is a wonderful gift to give someone or yourself. - Roasted Beat Literary Magazine


  This story can be shared to help all children navigate differences in a way that embraces inclusion. Part of this hero’s adventure is to find what is valuable in the way that our hero thinks and the way that he sees the world and how he relates to his surroundings...at first it is a disadvantage and then it becomes an advantage. - Atlantic City Press

  I heartily recommend this charming journey of discovery and self awareness, which teaches all of us in an insightful, humanistic way to recognize, focus and hone our talents, no matter how neurologically diverse, in order to participate and achieve in the world and contribute to it. The story’s illustrations are glorious in their detail. - The Paper Peddler
