"This book really has it all: clean uncluttered design, a nice story, a
good message, an eye-catching cover, fresh art, and the element of
surprise."

Thoughts, Observations and Ideas About Children's Books

"I am in Montana at the AGATE (Association for Gifted and Talented
Education) Convention right now and your book has been a HUGE hit
here. [Agate] teaches such a great lesson. My kids are 9th graders
and we have been learning about tolerance. I think it's wonderful that
your book encourages it!"

"My son got this book a few weeks ago for his 1st birthday. Although
he doesn’t understand the words yet, he loves the pictures!! They are
so colorful and fun! And I absolutely love the story! I know this will
become one of our favorite bedtime books!"

"I'm a nurse in the Burn Center at Hennepin County Medical Center in
Minneapolis. We have children who are burn survivors...frequently
their lives are changed forever because of their injuries and scars. I
truly believe that Agate and all of his "buddies" can help the healing
process of our patients!"
