Critic Reviews

“"Sockeye Silver, Saltchuck Blue is visually stunning, and children (and adult readers) will want to return to its pages and linger over its images that resonate with a quiet peacefulness... Highly recommended." --Review in Canadian Review of Materials, June 15”

"In one standout winter scene, sparse text - "Grey mist, / whales / and heavy rains" - is paired with textured, criss-crossed lines of sleet falling on three whales swimming in the ocean. Soothing, extra-sensory elements like this, combined with Indigenous art, make this B.C. story one that should be read on both coasts and all places in between." -- Review in Quill & Quire, October 2019, "Chew on This" by Shannon Ozirny

--Shannon Ozirny "Quill & Quire "

"...a perfect gift and addition into a child's library which will be cherished for years to come." --Review in Working Mommy Journal, June 11

--Working Mommy Journal

"...proclaims its artistry in a brilliance of sophistication and heritage." -- Review in CanLit for Little Canadians, June 5
