"Roly-Poly and the Light is a well-written, wonderfully-illustrated, appealingly presented book that celebrates the fact that all of us have unique qualities that contribute to our respective communities. It's our differences that make us who we are.
- Stephen F., Switzerland
​
"Roly-Poly and the Light is an enchanting children’s book that celebrates the beauty of being different while also acknowledging the connections that bind us together."
​
"The narrative does an excellent job of balancing the didactic elements with a sense of playfulness, making it a joy for children to explore the concepts of self-value."
- ReadwithRev
"As we follow Izzie and Ayla, we are reminded of the sheer joy found in nature’s simple lessons and the excitement of learning about the world around us.
​
This book not only offers a story but also integrates fun facts and reflective points that can lead to meaningful conversations with children about the importance of respecting differences and finding common ground."
