Raves and Reviews
"I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Christopher Aslan's books - the illustrations are gorgeously engaging and the messages are beautiful subtle nods towards creating healthy, well adjusted, self-caring young people in the world. As a self-esteem expert these are exactly the kinds of books I'd recommend to friends, family, and colleagues. They make adults feel good, too, and reading them to a young child can open up a whole new level of conversation, imagination, and connection."
