Reviews for Effie's Image
"As the father of a two year old, it is refreshing to find a story that satisfies both my daughter and I. Although it's geared toward a slightly older age group, my daughter loves it. She enjoys naming the characters and the presence of a kitten goes a long way in grabbing the toddler reader. I like the compelling story of rebirth, discovering inner beauty, and reinventing oneself with age. The story does not, as children's books often do, beat you over the head with it's positive themes. It simply teaches children, through example, the joy of helping elderly friends and that they can be contributing members of society. It also shows children the immense gratification volunteering can bring."

“This is a sensitively told story of lost and found acceptance and self-esteem through not only usefulness, but through the love and acceptance of others. Underscored with soft but rich illustrations, this story engages the reader drawing one back again and again. A beautifully told story for all generations.”

“This book is a classic if I ever read one! . . . What a wonderful book! Effie doesn’t know just how wonderful she can be until Amanda helps Effie find her way and feel as lovely as ever.”

“In a time when less and less attention is given to understanding the fount of wisdom offered by the elderly and more and more is paid to what is lacking in the world of education, Effie's Image offers hope and appreciation in both areas. While this small book is specifically geared toward 4-8 year-old children, adults, young adults and teens will find this story delightful and a timeless tale that can be kept for future generations to enjoy! This is a collection to be enjoyed by those readers who truly appreciate writing by a master of the craft!"

“Do you want your child to learn the worth of volunteering? This would be the book I would choose . . . After I read this story to my two boys, they could relate this story to their own grandmother who has recently retired only to find herself back at work. They talked about helping others and volunteering. This book is definitely on my recommend list to children.”
