Two great reviews so far for LUIGI, THE SPIDER WHO WANTED TO BE A KITTEN! ❤️🕷

Graphic with text that says: "Grateful for LUIGI's lovely review in Publishers Weekly, in which the reviewer clearly got (and felt!) the story" along with a cover image of the book and three pull quotes with arrows and hearts: "quirky be-yourself tale" "unconditional love" and "emotional roller coaster"
Graphic showing cover image of LUIGI, THE SPIDER WHO WANTED TO BE A KITTEN and part of a review from The Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books which says "The hearts of even the most strident arachnophobes will melt at this story of unlikely pals, and the ultimate message of loving oneself and one’s friends just as they are remains a worthy one."
