TESTIMONIALS

Aracely Priller, Germany

“When the owl, dog, and gator make sense together it’s fun, helpful, and gives an a-ha moment. This is a book that needs to be revisited again and again until we learn how to connect the three together automatically and sense them when they separate.”

Pamela Leo

“As I read your guidebook, I thought, wow! How different would my relationship with my mom have been if we could have had this information and done this guidebook together when I was a child.

My recommendation would be for parents to purchase a copy for each family member old enough to participate and to do the guidebooks as a parent/child or family activity, with the parent(s) completing their own book. I think children would be more receptive to doing this if their adults are doing it too.”
