Testimonials
“Heide Boyden is a versatile and gifted writer. She provides an abundance of creativity for any project; but, more important, she tackles the most difficult assignments and delivers before deadline every time. Throw out the scale of zero to a hundred; she’s off the chart on the high end. I recommend her unequivocally.”
– BC, BCTV Productions, LA/OC & Nashville
“Your style of writing brought me into your world. You conveyed vivid images throughout. Reading this left me in tears quite a bit. It’s truly an inspirational story; one that gives you hope.”
— Reader, Michigan
“…this picture book is a rollicking approach to Mom’s bath time in the style of the “House that Jack Built.” A good example of taking an idea and pushing it to make it bigger and funnier, this story ends in a way that will make mothers nod with a knowing smile and say, “So what else is new?”
– SCBWI LA Writer’ Day Contest Judge
“INSIGHT tells us that you were the third-place winner in their young writers contest. I disagree. I believe that you should have won first place.”
– Reader, Red Granite, WI
“I have given Heide’s story to our adolescent services counselor who deals with kids who are coming unglued because their parents have drinking problems. I believe the story will be beneficial to some of those kids.”
– Alice, Employee, Milwaukee Human Services Agency
“You described that experience with exceptional power. You brought the reader right upstairs with you.”
– Reader, Beloit, WI
“I have been reading your book before I go to sleep and cannot put it down.”
– Reader, Tucson, AZ
