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.
