"One Gift is a fantastic way to introduce several important concepts to modern youth. The writing is accessible and age-appropriate and the illustrations are great. I work with children dealing with behavioral issues and I have been able to use this book page by page to teach about family/sibling relationships; the different kinds of gifts we can give; and diversity/culture. Bobby & Chrissy: One Gift makes for engaging reading for kids and a valuable teaching tool.

"My daughter loves and treasures this book (Bobby & Chrissy) she walks around the house holding it close to her heart.  Its one of her favorite stories and we read it nightly, which is fine even I have learned a few things and giggled a bit."

- Lisa (Los Angeles CA)

This delightful read is a wonderful way to impress upon children of all ages the gift of giving and receiving.  It is so important in this day and age for our youth to realize that a gift from the heart can indeed give you the world... Aesopian value.  Even children who do not read yet, will enjoy the wonderful illustrations and bright colors found  inside.  This is just the type of text that a librarian would love to share with a young group during a dramatic reading. I would recommend this book to any parent who is concerned with teaching their children true values in the world. It is thought provoking while being enjoyable, as well."

"Bobby and Chrissy was a fun and enjoyable reading experience.  The dilemma of "Two kids, one birthday, one cake and one gift," seems like a daunting situation for a struggling single mother, but she uses this opportunity to nourish and teach her kids about what is really important in life.  The mother gives her children the world. She may not always give you what you want but will always give you what you neeed.  The book leaves us wanting to know more about the magical rides that lay in store for our young heroes."

"This story is told with great skill, intelligence and wit.  There are a few giggles for a parent or an older child reading the book.  The twins make connections as they explore their sense of the world through the magic of play.  The story is full of some of life's many messages and growth.  I love the subtlety of one message, "a basketball is a cool gift to share."  That is one of the statements which lends itself to the true spirit of sportsmanship.  I would love to add some additional tags to this excellent book, education, parenting and family values.  

The illustrations are vivid with muted tones which clearly mirror the text.  This depiction of color, space and scale will allow very young children to focus on the images as the text is read to them.  This story is unforgettable.  I cannot wait to read another book by this author.  I highly recommend this book.  Everyone will enjoy it."

"Bobby and Chrissy: One Gift" is an engaging, creative, and worthwhile story that explores not only the world around us, but also the idea that the things that are truly important in life aren't necessarily things."
