“Benji & the Giant Kite is a children’s book that comes as a breath of fresh air. It does everything that a children’s book should do.” - Dragonfly Sweetness blog“The life lessons are plainly articulated and you gather a sense of where each lesson will take you and why.” - Growing with Grey blog“This book has beautifully illustrated pages, with hidden treasures, including bumblebees, shells, and mice munching on blueberries.” - A Latte with Ott blog“I love this book not only because it shares the wonderful message of working hard in life to get what you want, but also because in the end he realizes it’s okay to let go of things you love. Benji’s resilience in the book and him never giving up on his determination to fly kites, despite how many he has crashed, is inspiring.” - Chaos in Mommyhood“The enchanting story of a young boy who learns that possessing something is not quite as meaningful as letting it go.” - Jinxy Kids
