WHAT REVIEWERS ARE SAYING…

"Expressed in rhyme and interspersed with a catchy refrain ("Giggles and stories, oodles to see, Grammy time, Grammy time -- Just you and me"), a grandparent and child share outdoor adventures and one-on-one moments, meeting a pig, cow, and other appealing creatures along the way. Young children will delight in the warmly colored paintings that complement the loving mood of the book (Just You And Me)."

"With playful rhymes and vibrant illustrations, Let's Make-Believe stimulates the imagination. The book begins with an introductory poem by a grandmother, who invites her grandchild on a playdate filled with make-believe games: "I am your Grammy, Your playmate and friend; My love has no boundary, My love has no end." Each turn of the page features a different animal escapade, as the grandmother and child transform themselves into everything from monkeys to alligators ("Here comes the alligator, awake from a nap -- Let's follow behind, snippety snap!") The close-up images of wild creatures jump off the page with bursts of color and energy. Grandparents and grandchildren alike will appreciate the loving and fun-filled rendering of quality time shared together."

"A lush and rollicking tribute to glorious one-on-one time between grandparent and baby. Vibrant paintings accompany knee-bouncing rhymes celebrating nature, animals and the world all around. P. Taylor Copeland weaves her verses together with the wonderful refrain of 'Giggles and stories, Oodles to see, Grammy time, Grammy time, Just YOU and me.' With its splashy graphics, pictures and catchy rhymes, Just You And Me is a lapful of love."

"I Liked You At Ten... I'll Like You Again is a labor of a mother's love for her children, one that will echo with parents, grandparents and perhaps guide parents to be."
- Ingrid Reti, San Luis Obispo Magazine

"It (I Liked You At Ten...) captures the human experience, every awkward moment and false step, each emotion, treasured moment, hurt heart. Ultimately, however, it's hopeful, reassuring book, a reminder that the struggle from childhood to adulthood is necessary."
