Media reviews
* "Spike, an abandoned âÈêUgliest Dog in the UniverseâÈëâÈ'contest winner, finds love and a new home in this heartwarming tale about beautyâÈ'and its many permutations.
Verbally abused and cast away, SpikeâÈçs resilience and optimism remainâÈ'largely due to Joe, the kind boy from next door. First-person narration makes the dog all the more endearing: âÈêIf you could see inside my heart, youâÈçd say...beautiful.âÈë... FrasierâÈçs exceptional artwork and text will have readers rooting for the lovable Spike. Using found materials, she creates ingenious collages that act as metaphors, revealing beauty in what once appeared useless and worn-out. Blue jeans tell SpikeâÈçs story, hard-working and durable; they also connect him to Joe and his mom, who both wear the fabric. Evangeline, the award-winning cat, is surrounded by silk and lace. Seamlessly integrated design enhances both emotional and comedic beats, as the author reveals beauty in its myriad forms.
Brilliant."
