Reviews

"Charm Kids was written with wonderful sensory details, so that even if a child could not see the brightly done illustrations, they could visualize what was happening in their mind. The inner strength message that we all posses is beautifully set forth in this story."

-Andrea Polak, Elementary School Teacher

-Brandon, 6-year-old - First Grader

 

"Charm Kids is an entertaining tale with a likeable heroine and a diverse, lively crew of friends. This book encourages youngsters to identify their gifts and skills, a critical and EMPOWERING task for children."
