Readers' Feedback

From G.K.*, of Davao, Philippines; Jan. 11, 2008:

'Love your books!

I chanced upon your Multiply site while going through my network here. My three-year-old daughter,K, and I love Papa's House, Mama's House.

I bought the book when she was still two years old, at a time when i thought i would soon be walking out of my marriage. I thought that whatever would happen, whether her papa and i would break up or if she encountered a situation like this outside our home, it would be a great preparation for her. I don't know what about the book she likes, but she likes it a lot. My husband also bought a copy for his seven-year-old daughter from a previous relationship.

We also love Tight Times a lot. She loves both the story as well as the details of the illustration.

Thank you very much for your stories, Ms. Jeanette. They make parenting a little easier. :)
