I was delighted to see so many wonderful reviews of Maddie’s Saturday to Remember from the Writer’s Digest Competitions – Self-Published Book Awards 2021, and wanted to share some of the love with you all. A big thanks to each one of you for sharing the magic of Maddie with me. It means the world.
“This book is exemplary in its structure, organization, and pacing…”
“Author has done a wonderful job of crafting a living, breathing world populated by rounded characters and their warm voices giving us a fine foundation for the story’s flow…”
“Illustrations provide wonderful detail, especially in the facial expressions and postures of characters, and we get a fabulous sense of setting here, thanks to the artist’s vision…”
“The story conveys, in many ways, a sense of belonging to the community and to Maddie’s grandfather. Relationships abound here, and we see that sense of being beyond valued as a primary element of existing in one’s world, with plenty to bring to the people in your orbit…”
“This book is exemplary in character appeal (or interest) and development.”
