REVIEWS
“Benny & Bernice is a wonderfully written and beautifully illustrated story that reminds children of the benefits of befriending those that are different and of forgiving others. Through this lovely story, children begin to understand the importance of inclusivity and are reminded of the benefits of loving others as they are. I would recommend it highly.”

This literary and artistic effort is beautifully illustrated parable about diversity that must be inclusive and complementary if we are to have peace and prosperity among our global humanity. The art and precious characters will greatly appeal to the young, where it all begins.
