Reviews

“Belle Meets Henry” is a relatable story for all kids! The way Belle and Henry work together is a great way to teach teamwork. This book is also a wonderful example to expose children to personification.”

”What a wonderful read for bedtime or anytime with your kids. Follow along as Belle meets a new friend and each of them are amazed and delighted in their differences. Henry can fly and Belle can't but they manage to figure out a way to spend time together and relish each other's uniqueness. The illustrations are beautifully done and capture Cady Lake perfectly. FIVE stars and TWO thumbs up from me.”

“I read Belle meets Henry to my grandson and he said, ‘I really liked it because she (Belle) got to fly and have a great adventure.’ Belle and Henry were able to problem solve and come up with a solution together. The story involves something most of us want to do... FLY... and feel the breeze flowing through our ‘fur.’”

Amazon Review


My name is Belle and I live in Charlotte, NC with my family. I like walking around my neighborhood and eating dried-up worms. They are a yummy treat but my human family thinks it is gross. Even though worms are good, my most favorite food is a carrot. I will do anything for you if you give me a carrot. When not exploring my neighborhood, I enjoy cuddling with my family on the couch under lots of blankets. I look forward to sharing my adventures with all of you.
