"The students were quite engaged & really enjoyed...
...interacting with Sparkles & her puppets! I found the Dog Safety Tips workshop with the K-2 students to be fun & educational. Over half of the children had been bitten by a dog, so this was an important topic for the kids. They learned how to meet a dog safely & avoid being bitten."
-Kali Cardenas, Teacher-Librarian, Creston Elementary School, PPS
Dear Sparkles, I would like to share a wonderful experience
...I had with my grandchildren. I purchased a collection of your children's books. I explained to the children that Sparkles’s goal in life is to help young children and she does this through her books and puppet shows. The girls each picked a book and then the laughing, learning and loving began. I would highly recommend these books to anyone with young children, grandchildren or children they simply want to help." -Harold in Nebraska

-Karin Baggett, Morrison Child & Family Services
"You have helped countless kids learn about fire safety...
...which is very important! It was great working with you & Pinky Love the Fire Dog."

Dear Sparkles, a memory that I will long time cherish is...
...of sitting on a hotel bed with my niece and her three children. They are those cherished young ones listened to and read about four books of yours in one sitting. I took a set of your books when I visited with them. I invited each child and their mother to select a book for their very own. They did after squabbling because they wanted more of them smile. Then, rather than taking a nap, they insisted on having their mother read each of the books out loud to all of us. What fun! Keep writing! -Mary Lee Turner
