Seemore the Seagull
"As an early childhood professional, I was impressed with the loyalty of the family and empathy that was exhibited. The compassion, acceptance, and problem solving to help Sydney continue to be useful was empowering. In addition, Sydney's expressions are magnificent."

True Friends Indeed
"...Seemore is a charismatic main character, full of confidence and always ready for adventure, with mannerisms that will be familiar to anyone who has ever watched seagulls at the beach. Lifelike illustrations pair well with the characterizations of the gulls, realistically depicting the anatomy and postures of gulls in soft, beachy colors. The rhyming text has a lively rhythm, perfect for reading (or chanting) aloud. True Friends Indeed is an enjoyable anti-bullying story that is as fun to read as it is beautiful on the page."
