What do readers say?

  • “This lovely story reflects on the joy pets bring into our lives and the profound relationship between animals and their owners. What makes the book especially meaningful is its premise that the love between pets and humans does not simply end when life does. It suggests this love continues in an afterlife where companions are reunited.”

    — Karen Spencer, Doctor of Veterinary Medicine

  • “The book is perfection! Harper loved the book! She really enjoyed the illustrations. Writing was easy for her to follow. She was able to read it without hesitating on any words and enjoyed the flow.”

    — Mom of Harper, age 7

  • “Nora absolutely loved it. I think it's so well written, so easy to follow. Just amazing. And she loved the illustrations.”

    — Mom of Nora, age 10

  • "A beautiful story that all ages will cherish! The story of Rollo, his family and his adventures in the lowcountry will capture the hearts of all ages. The way the story reads makes you want to reach out and hug this precious four-legged member of the family, and the beautiful artwork throughout ensures you feel that you, too, are in the midst of all the action. A bonus are interesting details shared about the sea creatures in the lowcountry. Truly a treasure of a book!"

    — Kay Strickland

  • “Yes . . . it proves we can love again but we never forget . . . and indeed we will see them again.”

    — Jo Little, mother and grandmother

  • "First off, I want to say that you selected a wonderful illustrator! Second, your story line is very heartwarming. I was able to comfortably follow along with the plot. Bottom line is that you are a great storyteller and the illustrations are wonderful."

    — Barbara Luby, former teacher, Mount Pleasant, SC

  • “It is a sweet story for children. I liked it and enjoyed the extra information about the Lowcountry sea life. The illustrations are lovely.”

    — Susan Krasniewski, taught English and journalism for 18 years

  • "I made a cup of tea and sat down to read your book. It’s delightful. I especially like the opportunity for the reader to dig a little deeper in the science. I know my granddaughter used to exclusively get science fact books when she was that age [around 7 or 8]. The illustrations are terrific. Such a bold use of color. The part about Rollo’s dreams opens the door to a wider discussion with the right reader and parent. Well done. A stunning accomplishment."

    — Jan Zick, mother and grandmother
