I am a psychotherapist and an avid reader.  The author's aunt sent me a copy of The Manny Files to see what I thought about it.  My husband and I both read it and loved it.  It is such an entertaining and well-written book that we purchused 6 more copies to send to family and friends, children and adults.  The author captures and describes the childrens' feelings accurately and with a lighthearted touch.  It is very uplifting, so it is also perfect for people who are ill or recovering from surgery.  We even have a copy for houseguests to read.  So far, EVERYONE has said what a great book it is.  No one can believe this was the author's first book.  We can't wait for his next book.

This book has been a part of my family support network for over 50 years.  I give it to all family members.  My mother gave it to me.
There is something for every crisis and I tell people to keep this book close where they can reach and read it.

My whole family loves this book - my 7yo son, my 9yo daughter, and my wife (age omitted, haha).  It's an inspirational story, told in both English and Spanish.  Beautifully illustrated by the students of IMA school - the same girls that benefit from the dreams and the work of Haydee del Cid Abel.  She sounds like she was an amazing person.

According to UNICEF, "study after study shows that educating girls is the single most effective policy to raise overall economic productivity, lower infant and maternal mortality, educate the next generation, improve nutrition and promote health," and IMA is making a difference in so many lives.

Get this book and read about dreams, passion, inspiration, love, and helping others.

I truly enjoyed this book.  I know it is hard to lose a parent and this family has been so devoted, caring, loving, and had so much faith that others noticed it and wanted that for their family.  There was never anything negative in their life or conversation and they were always there for each other.  Very inspirational and based on a true story.

Having seen the book for myself, I have just ordered more copies to give as gifts. So many families I know would love this book because it represents them - they are multifaith, multi-generational and living in harmony. Miss Kennedy is clearly a gifted child. Its so wonderful to see our children tapping into their skills to produce something that makes the world a better place.

This book is one of my all time favorite Christmas books. My mom read it to my siblings and I ever year during Advent time.  This year she sent it to me for St. Nicholas' Day and I sat my husband down and read it to him as soon as I got it out of the package.
The story follows a tree as it makes it's rounds through the houses of those waiting on Christmas day. Starting with Mr. Willowby and ending with a small family of mice. Each person excitedly decorates the tree and then learns that the tree is too big.  The story is adorable and full of Christmas time cheer. I can't wait to read this to my children.

This is one of my favorite books ever. It is intended for a young audience (I am 50). My niece read it in 5th grade, and wants to read it again (which says a lot - she doesn't love reading). RJ Palacio writes in a way that all characters can be understood and shows us that there are multiple sides to every story. I can remember when I have read about a character with so much heart, humility and strength of character in a while. It should be read by EVERYONE! It has such a great message - I think that it should be compulsory reading in all 5th grade classrooms.

Dick Vitale has always been an inspiration to many people, and when I saw this book come out I was very excited. It has EXCEEDED my expectations! It is a wonderful book for children and adults of all ages! It is a MUST READ for all kids - Dick does an amazing job using personal stories to show kids how to be winners in the most important game of all - LIFE. In many different ways that anyone can follow, Dick literally spells out the dos and don'ts of life, how important it is to make good decisions, and simple methods to be the best you can be - now and in the future. If you need a gift for your son, daughter, grandkids, what have you, this is it. It is easy to read, keeps you engaged, and will motivate and inspire you. Perfect for the holidays. A GREAT BOOK. Awesome with a capital A!

As a therapist, I find this book so applicable to the families I work with on a continued basis.  It's supportive of absolutely any dynamic within a family and I would recommend it across the board.
