“This beautiful book…Who else is writing profound, and profoundly important, fables today? A moving, uplifting antidote to the lurid, hysterical excesses of sex and blood-drenched contemporary culture. Give it to your teen! Would but this story find its way onto school reading lists; things would get better.”
*
“Such a beautiful book!”
*
“What a delightful read. This book will be adored by little kids and ‘big kids’ alike. A heart warming journey that explores the challenges of growing up, dealing with loss and eternal love and friendship.”
*
“This is a beautifully written, sweet soulful story. Some parts are laugh out loud, too. There is something harmonious about it, the characters and the story. The way music is used as both an expression of joy and a force for healing is really touching and true.”

“I just want to tell you how much I loved Robert the Frog. I laughed and cried and was on the edge of my seat! I was imagining reading it to a classroom of children and seeing the emotion in their faces. Wonderfully written and a fabulous story of never giving up.”
*
“What a wonderful book you have written. There is so much in it that is inspiring and encouraging. It reminded me of books I read as a little girl that also had little animals as the heroes with big hearts and courage”
*
“I liked the story so very much, it is well-written and I enjoyed the exciting cliff hangers. I was also picturing how a great animated film could be made out of the story; any plans? I wish you all the success with it.”
*
“It is a beautifully crafted novel that’s not merely about music, but is itself musical; the writing flows and pulses with rhythms that effortlessly carry us on Robert’s strange, deeply moving journey. I was stilled, marvelling, for some time after finishing it. Like the greatest fables, we totally identify with the animals and their journey. Moving and profound.”
*
“The book is delightful, well done a thousand times; Robert is such an endearing character. I only wish I could have it in picture book form and then I could have it at school in the therapy room.”
