ACCOLADES

"...your books [are] quality reading, They make me think a lot more than most everything else I've read, and makes me think more than absolutely anything on T.V. Plus, they're very inspiring and encouraging, I like Eddie Johnson's Ark and Rodney Appleseed in particular, and everyone I know loves the Little Snail." Tim.

"My niece says you are her new favorite author! She has an extremely busy schedule so she reads a little at a time and shares some of the paragraphs with me. She says she can't wait for more books from you." U'ilani.

"Ross, you're ... a breath of fresh air in the cynical jungle of urban modernity. I can always count on you to find and explore sassy ways to rebirth familiar experience. Just thought I'd give you a little feedback and appreciation." Gregg.

"I love receiving your news letters. Thank you for your delightful updates and your inspiring stories." April.

"She brought the books to school and had her teacher read them to the class. She then thought the children in Germany and Nigeria, where she is from, should also know these stories so she had her mother send the books back home. I just thought you should know some of the impact your writing has on others. I find your work so uplifting and encouraging, not to mention, just plain ole, fun to read. You are not just entertaining, you are teaching, for there are a multitude of lessons to be learned in your work for children and adults alike." Odey.

"I love the way you write ...your imagery is just perfect and your books are so much fun...it's like jumping into someone's head and hearing their thoughts... Thank you so much for signing the books as well." Julie.

"I just watched both of the slideshows and loved it! ... loved all the drawings ... "livelyness" and "fun" ... Your words are inspiring and I love reading them! I even share your stories to who ever is next to me ^-^." Pua.

"Discovering your books was one of the good memories [from my trip] Thanks." Patricia, traveler.

"My son loved your writing workshop. On after the 4th day he said, 'I don't want it to be over, I want to keep writing!' He wrote more in one day of your workshop, than he'd written all summer." Jamie.

"My kids really enjoyed the workshop last summer and both of them were recognized/awarded for their writing this year (something neither had achieved before)." Sandy

"I've read all the books by Ross Anthony. Each one brings wonder and magic back into my life... one of life's simple pleasures, yet there is always a deeper, profound message." Terry, Corporate IT Manager.

"I'd like to thank you for always including me when you send emails ~ they are humorous and informative and I cannot tell you how much they have helped me thru some difficult times recently when things seemed bleak and then you got me laughing and I love to laugh and so felt all the better for the kind, helping hand extended to me and others thru your thoughts and words!"
