"A charming ode to children and their endless creativity and inventiveness."
- Avery and Augustine
"The child's seriousness in orchestrating these island activities will make perfect sense to readers-they know imagining isn't playtime. Pretending feels immensely personal, intimate even, and the child's emotive brown eyes show this in their intensity and, at times, vulnerability. Visual accents make the protagonist's tender age clear, as well as how extraordinarily dense, flamboyant, and boundless a very young child's imagination can be. Watercolors, colored pencils, and stitched red thread (which appears as dotted lines incorporated into each illustration) create vivid pictures of this pretend place, where anything can happen. Readers will certainly make the leap and stay a while."
- Kirkus Reviews
"In a world of sensory overload, My Island provides an oasis for young imaginations. My Island is the perfect soothing antidote to a busy day. Slow down, sit down, and read to your child and then watch as his/her imagination takes flight."
