"A joyous way to ring in the fall season that is full of heart. Not just an autumn treat, but also a book that will please the animal lover within us all."

"Beautiful and delicate illustrations tell the story of Casey, a young boy looking for the perfect pumpkin in Picking Patch. A sweet story of family togetherness and new responsibilities, Picking Patch will make you long for fall days, cooler weather, and the joys of a new companion."

"Picking Patch is simply charming! The magic that Casey experiences while picking out his own pumpkin parallels the joy that I've seen in my own daughter when we make our annual trip to the pumpkin patch. It's a perfect story to help bring the enchantment of fall to little readers everywhere."

"Picking Patch is a sweet story about the joy of finding the perfect pumpkin. Sometimes things happen that we don't expect, like finding a feline friend to help and love. It was so touching and familiar when the family sat down to discuss adopting 'Patch.' You can feel the author's purpose as the story progresses and the family has big decisions to make."

"Picking Patch is a fun, heartwarming, and educational story that immediately transported me back to my childhood memories of frolicking around local farms in my hometown. Having worked in animal welfare for over a decade, and as the proud mother of two rescued cats, it was a joy to be on Casey's journey with him while he discovered his love for animals and learned about the lifesaving and rewarding responsibility of taking good care of a loving pet."

"This is a fantastic fall-themed book that my own children and my students loved! It is a heartwarming story that offers a lot of self-to-text connections and places to predict what will happen next."
