"Bertie And The Garden of Wonders is written by Mandy Woolf and illustrated by Elmira Georgieva. Bertie is a lonely ball who sits on a shelf. No one plays with him, and his once bright colors have faded. He rolls outside into the garden and finds a beautiful, white, puffy flower. Puff Ball is a dandelion who also feels alone. Puff Ball has been called a weed that no one is happy to have around, but she knows that her natural calling is much more than just being a pesky weed in the garden. While playing in the garden, who will protect them from the other things in nature that could pose a risk? Will Bertie ever feel like more than an old faded ball on the shelf? Can Puff Ball prove she is just as important to nature as the birds, bees, grass, and trees? Will either of them find friendship and happiness? Bertie And The Garden of Wonders is a wonderful story that I enjoyed from beginning to end. I love the way the author uses science and nature to make this story fun and educational. The characters are all the beautiful things you would find in a garden, and their personalities make the story entertaining and relatable. The illustrations by Georgieva are colorful and make this story as beautiful as it is interesting. I recommend Bertie And The Garden of Wonders by Mandy Woolf to anyone with young children who are ready to read and learn a little bit of science along the way."

"Parents rejoice when their new bundle of joy arrives. Colors are brighter, sounds are clearer, and the world takes on an entirely different feel. Authors have tried for many years to create a narrative that sufficiently describes the intense love a parent has for a newborn. Author Mandy Woolf’s I Love the Sparkle in You offers parents a beautifully written and illustrated book parents will want to set aside as a touching keepsake for their children. Love permeates Woolf’s tale from cover to cover. It is obvious how much of both the author’s and illustrator’s hearts went into this precious book."

"Woolf definitely has her finger on the pulse of what children need to hear, and the messages parents and caring adults need to impart. She seems to really care about the story she is telling and the children she is writing for. We definitely need more authors like this one. The illustrations are just right for this story, colorful, happy, inviting–above all, adorable. This particular book, along with the others the author writes, would make a wonderful addition to your child’s library or classroom."

"I Love the Sparkle in You is a children's picture book by Mandy Woolf that celebrates every child's uniqueness and "sparkle." The narrative describes the profound joy parents feel for their newborn and how the universe bestows all the gifts of nature on the newborn to grow and thrive in their special ways. Like the sun shines brighter and sends its warmth, the moon shares its wisdom and belief, the deer with their kindness provide courage for the young one, and the trees offer flexibility for all the challenges to overcome. In short, the book conveys the message of love, hard work, confidence, strength, empathy, friendship, and most importantly, self-worth, self-love, and recognizing the importance of being happy and celebrating one's unique qualities and finding beauty everywhere. Mandy Woolf has done a commendable job with I Love the Sparkle in You. The illustrations by Elmira Georgieva are such a delight to the eyes, creating a world of captivating wonder and heartwarming messages. The expressive artwork and the use of soft tones and warm colours give a whimsical touch, bringing this lyrical text to life. Mandy's writing style is very engaging and poetic. The language is simple yet convincing, which creates a warm and comforting atmosphere for young readers. I loved the choice of words to convey the powerful message of love, acceptance, and self-worth. The book is recommended for children aged 3 and above as it promotes good qualities and habits in young children."
