ReviewsPRAISE FOR Noni Says No : "The impressionistic illustrations perfectly convey Noni's emotions.... When Noni finally summons the courage to refuse her friend's request, Susie's reaction surprises her, but it is likely to reassure children who find themselves in a similar predicament. This book could generate good discussion about standing up for one's self and handling difficult relationships, including ways to establish and maintain friendships when everyone involved has a chance to react honestly and without fear." - School Library Journal PRAISE FOR Noni Is Nervous : "In Côté's charmingly loose crayon-and-watercolor illustrations, Noni's anxiety shows in her pink-cheeked face as she thinks about everything that could go wrong." - Editors' Choice, The New York Times "A charming, seemingly simple book that gets right to the heart of the matter." - Kirkus Reviews PRAISE FOR Bob's Hungry Ghost by Geneviève Côté: "[a] zany take on a ghost story.... In keeping with the hyperactive mood of the story, Côté's illustrations practically sail off the page." - The New York Times
