Praise for Sleep, My Baby
"This board book is obviously a work of love of a son for his mother. Jacques Shore has adapted a lullaby that his mother, Dr. Lena Allen-Shore, wrote for him and sang to her two sons before they went to sleep.
Sleep, My Baby is a perfect first book for today’s mothers and fathers to read to their children. Youngest lap readers will love to look at the brightly coloured illustrations and the word repetition in the story will help with first language development. One to four-year-old readers will enjoy the details in the illustrations, will want to know more about the cities named in the book while the simple text delivers the warm and charming message that they can go to bed each night feeling safe, secure and happy. This is a great book for both babies and young children to have read to them and to read themselves. It would also make a great baby shower gift."

This book is a perfect gift for Mother’s Day for new or expecting mothers. It literally was made for reading during those close, cuddly bedtime routines with children. Even though the lullaby specifically references ‘mothers’ as the childminder in the book, parents of all kinds can enjoy sharing this lullaby with their kids.

Menorah in the Night Sky
"This book is an amazing book that tells of a miracle that happens during the Holocaust of two young boys being able to light the candles of a menorah through the stars. This book is great for children of all ages and for adults as well. Menorah In the Night Sky should be added to your Hanukkah collection right away - my whole family loves this story, as do I, and am sure you will too!"

Menorah in the Night Sky
"I thoroughly enjoyed reading this book...and then I read it to my four children! I have enormous respect for the late Pope John Paul II and I found it very beautiful to see that a Jewish lawyer from Ottawa had such a special friendship with the Pope. The story highlights a great lesson for all, to see the importance of building bridges between faiths and the great respect and love we must have for each other regardless of our faith."

Friday Night with the Pope
"This delightful book celebrates an openness to the world, and the ability to forge common ground with others-whether through childhood memories, or shared convictions and ideals found later in life. All of us have heard words of deep and abiding admiration spoken often and by many about Pope John Paul II. It is wonderful to see a children's book that commemorates his great spirit, and in a way that is meaningful to Jewish and Christian readers."
