"Jackson's deft touch for humor carries the audience's interest through the story." --School Library Journal on If the Shoe Fits

"An exciting world through which the miniature family journeys at a brisk pace perfect for energetic toddlers and preschoolers." --Booklist on If the Shoe Fits

"Young ones who have mastered their nursery rhymes will get a hoot out of Jackson's gentle humor." --Publishers Weekly on If the Shoe Fits

"An appealing book with an authentic voice, particularly when discussing the upheaval and discomfort caused by divorce, as well as the effort and good will required to smooth the transition." --School Library Journal, starred review on Eggs Over Evie

"Evie tells her story with a pinch of humor and a dash of vulnerability, sifting together the people in her life and blending them into a surprising new family . . . Sweet and savory." --Kirkus Reviews on Eggs Over Evie

"Relationships are at the heart of this appealing, illustrated chapter book." --Booklist on Eggs Over Evie
