Storybook Reading Testimonials:
“Chelsea’s book reading and activity was perfect for the group of children aged 5 to 10 that she was presenting to. It was the right length of time, she kept their interest and was able to link content of her book to cyber safety tips, that were being promoted in our library for eSmart Week. Chelsea has a peaceful, gentle manner and I could see the children relaxed and receiving her messages through their interaction with her.” – City of Karratha Libraries, Western Australia
“Having Chelsea visit to read her book was an amazing experience for our year twos last year. If you can get her to visit you will not regret it. My kids from last year came and did a book review of Mason’s Greatest Gems and one of the boys said “… and the author says…” and went on talking about virtues. Another little boy (who is working below year level) told his teacher he wants to be an author just like the pretty lady that read a book to me at school. Thanks again Chelsea for coming into school.” – Jay Page, teacher
Storybook Testimonials:
“We need more books like Mason’s Greatest Gems. The focus on positive virtues and comparing them to beautiful gems found deep within the earth is genius! This book would be great for both family bookshelves and classroom libraries.” – Maria Dismondy, award winning children’s book author
“The lessons were powerful and accessible, and the illustrations were adorable. I am excited to share this with others!” – Dara Feldman, author of The Heart of Education, Maryland’s 2015 Mother of the Year, and award winning educator
“[Mason’s Greatest Gems] is one of the best children’s books I have ever read. I thought the book was exceptionally well written. The word choice is unique and descriptive. It is an engaging storyline for both the adult and the child, yet it provides a concrete way to teach an abstract concept–one that greatly benefit both the child and everyone with whom he or she interacts. My daughter is 9 and enjoyed it very much along with the printable downloads. As a special education teacher, I could see how this book would appeal to a wide variety of ages and apply to many different circumstances.” – Rachel Macy Stafford, New York Times Bestselling Author of Hands Free Life and Hands Free Mama

Chelsea is an insightful blogger and encourages all of us to be considerate and empathetic.

She wrote an honest and from the heart review of my book Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept, and for which I will always be grateful. My book is not scary for children and Chelsea’s blog portrayed that beautifully to parents.” – Jayneen Sanders, author of Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept
