My daughter and I absolutely LOVE this book. The illustrations are vibrant and captivating. The story is heartwarming and inspirational. This is our new favorite book. I can't say how much I love it.
Luke - Nashville TN - 5 out of 5 Stars!
Bright, vibrant, and full of life! I loved this book from start to finish. I especially liked the illustrations and how they took us on a journey with Tish. Definitely a must-read! Looking forward to more titles from these two. Great book!
Monica - Columbus, Georgia - 5 out of 5 Stars!
I bought this for my 7 year old grandson and he loved it! It's a sweet story about imagination and doing what you love while learning to believe in yourself. The illustrations are beautiful and the text was at a level he could read on his own. We'll be buying Me and My Chucks this week!
Susan - Houston, TX - 5 out of 5 Stars!
I loved everything about this book. The story is engaging and gives the reader the confidence to accept and embrace their individualism....even if it's a pair of Chucks that sets you apart from everyone else.
