  • "This is a really sweet and meaningful book for all ages, and beautifully illustrated. The author, a doctor, draws on real life experiences and knowledge to explore what it’s like to alchemize uncomfortable feelings into something good and how adversity can help you along the way. Good story for kids struggling through anxious feelings, and good for adults to remember!"

    —Amanda B., Mini’s Magical Moment Reader

  • "This is a sweet, beautiful story about the love that goes on and on between a dog and her human Mama. Anyone who has ever loved a pet, and especially a dog, will appreciate this sweet and sensitive story about a dog (Cuddles) and her family. The story is told through Cuddles' voice. I will never look at purple flowers the same way after reading this book. Heartwarming and well-done. This book will be enjoyed by all children who love animals."

    —Martha M., Mama, I Will Send You a Purple Flower Reader

  • "Mini's Magical Moment is a delightful story with a really important message for all children. Mini's experience helps readers understand that it is OK to feel scared and nervous sometimes, and they are not alone when they feel knots in their tummy, a fast heartbeat, and a tight throat. For kids who have experienced these feelings, just knowing that they are normal can be a real magical moment for them as well. Manizeh Mirza-Gruber's writing and illustrations are totally relatable. It's a winning combination that makes this such a great book."

    —S.H., Mini’s Magical Moment Reader

  • "You can feel the love in every page of this book. The inevitable loss of a beloved pet is a difficult topic and this author portrays all the feelings involved, and that true love transcends space and time through connection, gratitude and hope. Would recommend."
