About this title

Review:

Praise for Love, Santa

"A message about generosity and kindness." -- New York Times Book Review

"Wise, truthful and lovely." -- The Wall Street Journal

"I want to give this book to everyone I know who says, 'It's so sad the kids are growing older.'" -- NPR

* "An elegant, relatable, and moving depiction of a family's negotiation of a tricky childhood rite of passage." -- Publishers Weekly, starred review

"Brockenbrough manages to merge honesty and magic to help families in one of the most poignant of growing-up moments... A coming-of-age story that will have readers of all ages wiping away a sentimental tear or two." -- Shelf Awareness

Praise for Back to School with Bigfoot

"Berger and Brockenbrough cleverly transfer the familiar anxieties of school-bound kids to their hairy hero... A reassuring model for kids big and small." -- Publishers Weekly

"Nicely juxtaposes the negative what-ifs with a great list of positives and just may lead nervous readers to do the same." -- Kirkus Reviews

Praise for The Dinosaur Tooth Fairy

"Debut picture-book pair Brockenbrough and Sanchez are millions of years ahead of their time." -- Kirkus Reviews

"With clever wordplay and repetitive words to emphasize the Dinosaur Tooth Fairy's emotions, this could be a fun storytime read-aloud for young readers." -- Booklist
