Our Treasure!

What a refreshing book. How often do you read a story to your children and find a tear in your own eye? The artwork is exceptional and compliments the story so well. It's hard not to be drawn into the story even after you've read it several times. In an era where possesions seem so important it's refreshing for young and old to be reminded of what's really valuable.
Fun & High quality

Tessa's Treasures is a High quality book in every way. The pictures are paintings with astounding clarity, and capture realistic expressions and scenes with deep emotion. The writing is real--it feels like you're in their house. The content is appropriate and perfect for launching into a discussion regarding "cherishing others", and how important relationships are to us. To go a step further, the construction of the book is top rate, the binding will not fall apart, nor will the pages rip easily. If you are looking for a great book to read to kids that will help you discuss important life lessons, this is definitely one you should add to your library.
The Best Children's Series

This book is a splendid mixture of great pictures to entertain the kids and a moral story to keep them interested. I found that my sisters have thoroughly enjoyed it and it keeps them occupied wondering what is going to happen next. I would reccomend this book to anyone looking for a children's story. It is a great combination of a good story with fun pictures. I happen to know the author personally and I know that he geers his stories towards the younger generation but still manages to keep it interesting for us old folks. I strongly suggest this book to anyone interested.
Outstanding!

I positively love what the author and illustrator have accomplished in this book. The theme is definitely on target for the needs of today's families. I particularly like the natural flow of dialogue. I felt as if I were actually eavesdropping on a real conversation. And the illustrations? Absolutely OUTSTANDING! We need more like this.
