A big shout out to our author/illustrator team of Brooke Van Sickle and Gabriela Dieppa for their newest recognition. This time it’s a 5-Star Review from Reader’s Favorite for their picture book, THIS IS MY CASTLE.

Reviewer, Emily-Jane Hills Orford enjoyed reading the book and encourages others to follow in her footsteps!

“Imagination is a great thing, but if it excludes others, perhaps it’s also a lonely thing. Reagan must learn that, although her vibrant imagination allows her to create the perfect play castle just about anywhere, her imagination also challenges the concept of being alone. The story is beautifully told with bright and colorful illustrations to help move it along. Young readers will be wrapped up in this story quickly and they’ll be the first to recognize the message Reagan learns: friends are important and good, lasting friendships are well worth the work involved.

Congrats to our team for Pirates Stuck at “C” on receiving a 5-Star review from Reader’s Favorite. Reviewer, Emily-Jane Hills Orford, said:

[This book] has everything a good pirate story needs: the pirates (of course), the treasure hunt and lots of adventure. But it’s also a story that develops the alphabet; each development in the plot follows a new letter in the alphabet (in order, of course). There’s clever alliteration, funny antics and so much more to make this adventure a fun way to learn the alphabet, or even to reinforce what a young reader already knows and add more words to their reading vocabulary. The illustrations are colorful and fun to look at. There will be plenty of laughter as young readers enjoy this story and learn from it.
