EARLY PRAISE

“I loved the book. It helped me see the potential inside all children, and adults for that matter. It also shows that by some people’s standards some of us might seem unusual or different. In reality we are all good at something and being different really isn’t a bad thing, rather it makes you unique and special. What a fantastic message for children everywhere.

John C. Carlson – President, Zac’s Legacy Foundation

“The Grok is a fantastic story! My 7 year old daughter Jillian and 3 year old Jackson made me read it four times in a row! Great work, every kid I know would love this book!”

Tracy Taylor, KOOL 105 FM

“The Grok of the Rock is an enchanting book for all ages. It has a simple lesson that too many of us have forgetten in our day to day lives. The book is fun with a lesson to be learned and I would love to see it become a series of books.”

Denise Baldwin, Centennial, CO

“I enjoyed reading the book to my kids almost as much as they enjoyed hearing it. My older daughter (1^st grade) wished she had a copy of the book to take to school to read to her class when she was Reader-Of-The-Day. She knows no one else had ever read it before ad she thinks that’s special.
