I love how the book explores the feelings behind a child’s reactions and challenges those who read it to think beyond ‘he was mean’.

I loved how the other kids clapped for them when they found out what Micah and Moriah’s names mean. I liked the book and think that other kids will like it too.

“This is masterfully written. Here are a few things that grabbed my heart.

The themes of love, respect, empathy, and friendship are richly woven throughout. Also, the ability to capture the teaching of Jesus about what it means to be a neighbor and what it means to rediscover the wonder of childlike faith and energy toward others in the 21^st century. I love the embodiment of what it looks like to take the first step – the initiative to “go” and meet neighbors instead of waiting. This could be a textbook for a class with adults! Also, you include many thoughtful descriptions of emotion, individual personality, and beauty. I love the mention of braids and dreadlocks. Finally, the revelation of what it’s like to know others and be known. Such an image of our heavenly Father’s desire to teach us what it’s like to be loved and to love.”

“I really enjoyed how relatable this story is in various ways. The lessons that Micah and Moriah learn – empathy and compassion for others, friendship, and leadership – are the same lessons I want to instill in my children and this book provides great examples they can learn from!”
