"I hope you plan on creating more books detailing the many adventures they will go on in the future (like becoming a big brother, family vacations, etc). It is beautifully written and illustrated. My favorite page was the one where they get into mischief in the baking cabinet. I think it’s perfect the way it is and it would hold Caila’s attention. I can see her actively engaged and pointing to the characters and other details in the book while we read."- J.Lawrence (mom of toddler, avid reader of children's books)
