"Roly-Poly and the Light is a well-written, wonderfully-illustrated, appealingly presented book that celebrates the fact that all of us have unique qualities that contribute to our respective communities. It's our differences that make us who we are.
- Stephen F., Switzerland
"Roly-Poly and the Light is an enchanting children’s book that celebrates the beauty of being different while also acknowledging the connections that bind us together."
"The narrative does an excellent job of balancing the didactic elements with a sense of playfulness, making it a joy for children to explore the concepts of self-value."
- ReadwithRev
"As we follow Izzie and Ayla, we are reminded of the sheer joy found in nature’s simple lessons and the excitement of learning about the world around us.
This book not only offers a story but also integrates fun facts and reflective points that can lead to meaningful conversations with children about the importance of respecting differences and finding common ground."
