Press & Reviews
|  | "The illustrations in Sparky the Wonderfish are a knock-out. They have a childlike charm and simplicity and a luminescence. This is a very sweet story that will appeal to a wide range of young readers, many of whom have been nose-to-nose with the feeder fish tank at the pet shop. and the fact that this is based on a true story only makes it more appealing..."
"I enjoyed Sparky a lot, good fun, and my daughter likes it too."
- Mike B. Anderson, Supervising Director, The Simpsons
"Your delightful, charming book 'Sparky the Wonderfish' is heartwarming and sure to delight..."
- Jerry and Esther Hicks, Abraham-Hicks Publications
Gillian received a letter from the President and First Lady Mrs. Obama, who also have a passion to promote literacy in the U.S. for kids by having children's book readings at The White House. Gillian mailed a Sparky the Wonderfish: A Story of How Love Creates Magic book and expressed great interested in being a part of those important efforts!
Gillian also received a letter of gratitude for her book and efforts from the Former Vice President, The Honorable Al Gore!
