Five Star Review for Lisbeth and the Littering Ladybugs
“Lisbeth and the Littering Ladybugs” is a delightful, magical story that imparts a crucial lesson about the importance of caring for others and oneself. It’s a story that will leave young readers and their parents or educators with a deeper understanding of responsibility and kindness.”The Children’s Book Review
“Buoyant detail and a sense of warmth distinguish both of the book’s realities: the everyday family relationship with its PJs and smiles, and the gorgeous imaginative world of the ladybugs, who dance, sew, and show off fancy-funny costumes against a backdrop of sun-kissed flowers. These are pages to soak up and get lost in. This adorable children’s story will delight elementary-aged kids but also parents and teachers.”– BookLife by Publishers Weekly
