What People Say

“How nice it is to read a children's book with a strong little girl in the lead. Agnes is a spunky and brave character, and she's not bratty, whiny, or sassy. You know Agnes is brave because she isn't afraid of insects. Her first adventure could prove helpful in encouraging young children not to fear the creepy crawlies that are out there in the world. The illustrations are also vibrant and amazingly detailed. If you're looking for a book with a female main character who is not a princess, this is a great one to check out!”
Lee Anne

“I loved the imagination involved and showing the kids the possibilities - that the unexpected can be wonderful and exciting! Also that trusting your instincts is important and can lead to good things.”
Tina

“The artwork was gorgeous. I loved Agnes’ assertiveness. She seemed so real.”
Tanya

“Such a great story for children and it's a MUST READ by parents and teachers! I cannot wait to read about Agnes’ next adventure!”
James

“I loved her fearlessness. Both in her ability to follow her instincts and also her ability to embrace the beauty of the dragon and the butterfly. That’s a characteristic that should be predominant in all her future adventures.”
Henry

Verified Reader

“I love the adventurous spirit, her tenacity and the fact that she's a GIRL!”

“Thank you for having a strong character like Agnes for her to look up to!”
Brenna

I see Agnes as a spunky girl who doesn’t let herself get bullied — because she believes in herself. She is driven by her desire to ‘fix wrongs’ and wants to stand up for what she believes in. That drive is greater than her fears so her actions appear as brave. What makes her endearing is that, like any other child, she has fear and she feels and acknowledges it. What makes her stand out and be ultimately inspirational is that she pushes through her fear because she believes in what she is trying to do.
