"A Sweet
Story"

- Amazon Review
"Sophie and Spot
is a little gem of a book infused with love that has huge and important life lessons . . .."

- Amazon Review
"The story is about a little
girl, Sophie, and her desire to get a
dog and her parents’ hesitation to
have one. While this drives the story, the story is also about her day-to-day life, the ups and downs. And again, it’s so well written that I was really invested in her life and what was going on."

- Goodreads Review
“Teachers are always
looking for books that teach empathy,
establish diversity and inclusivity, and lend focus to morally conscious characters. Sophie
and Spot hits all of these marks beautifully.

The premise is sweet; Sophie wants a dog but her fathers aren't ready for one yet. As the reader, you experience all of her longing, adorable reasoning, and efforts to fill her life with the unbeatable companionship of man's best friend.”
