See below for a sample of reviews of The Milkshake Man (for kids), The First Thirty (for students - or - for adults who like shorter books) and The Silhouette Man (for adults - or- for students who like longer books):
Jeanne-Marie P, Louisiana: "An inspiring reminder that, whether it's the other side of the world, the other side of the country, or just the other side of the tracks, if you end up in a place you never expected to be and dare to explore it, you just may find your passion in the process."
David J, Texas: "...The Silhouette Man reminds me to be kind, curious and to never give up on an educational, civic or business dream in the face of rejection... When we are able to stick to the optimism of our childhood and follow our innate passions, then we are unstoppable. It seems to me that [the main character] personifies this idea... His desire to experience new things -- his curiosity -- evolved into a willingness to learn about the story behind every face he encounters..."
Leah K, New York: "A story about sailing through choppy seas, weathering the storms, taking the time to notice the wide expanse of beauty around you, getting lost, getting back on course, and living to tell about the extraordinary adventure....a kid who grew up fantasizing about the immense ways he could change the world, while overcoming the challenges thrown at him along the way…”
Nancy Fish, Executive Director, Sandbox Children's Museum: "Engaging and inspiring.,, The Milkshake Man demonstrates a child's ability to imagine a better world and then bring that idea to life..."
Sharon G, Florida: "The Silhouette Man...is a touching tale of dreams coming true... I would recommend this book to anyone who has...dreams or just wishes they did, and who is trying to define their place in the world and refuses to let others define it for them."
Midwest Book Review: "A lesson in humanity...an uplifting true story that reminds us that all the movie-caliber underdog stories we see don't always have to be make-believe..."
