Fun Read

"My 4yo enjoyed reading this book together. It made him laugh out loud several times. The book isn't long, so you can read it quickly. The message is nice, though no so over the head. Just a feel good, fun read."

— RW (5/5)

Being you is great!

"Great story to teach kids it's our personality that counts, not what we wear."

— Jpop (5/5)

Fantastic

"A lovely story about self-confidence. Wonderful illustrations too."

— Izzy (5/5)

Huge hit with my toddler

"My toddler absolutely adores this book. It has a sweet message about confidence and being self-assured. The illustrations aren't too busy so it's easy for young children to follow the story. I also like how the writing is short, direct, and only dialog. It allows me to add my own words and interact with my child about the story more than I would be able to if the writing was more dense. In my opinion, a perfect kid's book."

— ALu (5/5)

Adorable book

"This is such a sweet and funny book! A great message too."

— SLG3 (5/5)

The Red Jacket

"Good story"

— Rainee (5/5)

Be yourself!

"A lovely story where a little duck learns that people like him for who he is not what he wears."

— D. W. (4/5)

"Sometimes a Red Jacket is just what you need." - Antoinette Portis, Award-winning and bestselling author of Not a Box
"The [art] gives the book immediate appeal, and the unexpected details, such as fries in the jacket pockets, are endearing. Fun for reading aloud and fine for discussing." - Booklist (starred review)
“[Examines] the bond between self-regard and friendship.” - Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“The Red Jacket is just my kind of story. Simple with a sweet message that kids and adults can appreciate.”  - James Dean, creator of Pete the Cat
“A delightful story of finding self-confidence and friends—and then paying it forward.” - Kirkus Reviews
“Sure to delight young readers. A great choice for readers who are shy, or anyone looking for a humorous, beachside read." - School Library Journal
“This light-hearted picture book offers manifold lessons, well-disguised in a silly story about a dapper seagull. [An] excellent selection for back-to-school time, reminding readers to be confident in their unique qualities and to encourage the same in others.” - Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books
Irresistible. - Buffalo News
