Customer Reviews

Whimsical and dear

My children love this book, and I never tire of reading it so that should say it all! The illustrations are layered and whimsical, the story is charming and it is just the right amount of cheeky. Love these books.

Julia's House is My Spirit Animal

This adorably charming story is everything I want in a children's book: fantasy, whimsy, beautiful illustrations, a good story, and a high attention to detail. I love all of the interesting creatures, and I love the message of compassion and hospitality, as well as the message of how to treat someone who offers you love and hospitality.

Enchanting

We adore this whimsical story of magical creatures learning to be respectful guests!
