From the Author
“I want to inspire young children to be
the best people they can be. If I can capture children's imaginations and
entertain them, they'll catch the underlying positive character message in each
of my books.”

Quotes
from reviews
“Wanda Luthman does a very good job with
this book. Lots of colorful pictures. Lots of rhyming that small children could
quickly learn. Highly recommend this book for children ages one to five.”
“Although “Little Birdie grows up” is
written for very young children, who cannot fail to be immediately and deeply
attracted to Bryce Westervelt’s vivid pictorial narrative, it is a book which
most likely will also engage genuine adult interest.”
“This was the first picture rhyming book I have read and the first time a book has made me cry - but a good cry. Little Birdie Grows up is such a beautiful story.”
