FROM OUR CUSTOMERS

★★★★★
The illustrations are beautiful and the story has such a strong message. My 6-year-old keeps asking when the next book is coming out. It’s become a bedtime favorite in our house!

★★★★★
I bought this for my nephew and ended up reading it with him cover to cover. It sparked great conversations about believing in yourself and staying curious. A must-have for every young reader!

★★★★
We loved the themes of perseverance and learning. I gave it four stars only because I wish it was a little longer—my 8-year-old finished it quickly. Can’t wait for Book 3!

★★★★★
My 7-year-old usually avoids reading, but something about The Smarter Raven grabbed his attention. He says the raven reminds him of himself, and he even brought the book to school for show-and-tell!

As a teacher, I’m always looking for books that teach while entertaining. This one checks all the boxes—beautiful language, uplifting messages, and characters kids can relate to. Well done!
