Critics Review
“What makes a strong role model for girls? Deborah Kelly found the answer in her own heritage, in the pages of history, and in the inspiring individuals who, despite adversity, discovered their own courage and resilience. The Doll Box is a testament to their stories, lovingly passed from mother to daughter, empowering the next generation of strong women.” – Grown Ups“These women’s stories help encourage Isla to be brave and strong, and this sweet tale will help instil girl power in your little one too.” – Tots To Teens“Deborah Kelly’s stirring story reminds kids aged four to eight that they are not alone in the world – they are riding on the shoulders of the daring, diligent and determined family members who have come before them. Ideal for kids who are reluctant to try things – especially if they’ve had a negative experience – The Doll Box will encourage them to look inside and find the generational resilience” – Buzz Words Magazine
