Review Quotes: Praise for When Things Aren't Going Right, Go Left: "Resilience and optimism win the day -- and the long game -- in an encouraging fable about finding one's way." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for Our Table by Peter H. Reynolds: An Amazon Best Children's Book of 2021 * "In Reynolds' established tradition, this story is simple and full of heart, celebrating the wonder and possibility of being human and being in relationship... Sweet and timely for today's families." -- Kirkus Reviews, starred review * "Reynolds tells the story simply and illustrates it expressively... A reminder of what really matters." -- Booklist, starred review Praise for Be You! by Peter H.

Reynolds: "A motivational must-have for every collection." -- School Library Journal "This book's encouragement to kids to find their voices can also be used to start a conversation about how they can make a difference in their world." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for The Word Collector by Peter H.
