Praise for Sarabella's Thinking Cap
"This gentle book provides support for every child who daydreams in
school and a wake-up call for her or his teachers. . . . A lovely
celebration of creativity and a different learning style."
—Booklist
“Readers, particularly introspective types, are sure to see the
magic in Sarabella’s perspective.”
—Publishers Weekly
“This is the sweetest read aloud for any child, but particularly
for the little daydreamer in your life.”
—Geekdad
“Sarabella’s ideas, seen through Schachner’s dazzling
illustrations, are presented as wonderfully imaginative.”
—School Library Journal
"More than a tribute to a child’s imagination . . . A tender,
sensitive tribute to those introspective students in a classroom,
who don’t always quite fit the standard educational mold—a welcome
thing, indeed."
—Seven Impossible Things Before Breakfast
“This is a great example of the creativity in divergent
brains.”
—Imagination Soup
“This is an exceptional book! It reveals the inner and outer world
of a child with attention challenges, presenting this issue as a
gift rather than a disability. The fanciful watercolor
illustrations are charming and fun. This book is a valuable
resource for any child who struggles in school. It could serve as a
valuable tool to encourage understanding and respect of individual
differences in the classroom as well.”
—Culture Honey
