The Box Turtle

Praise for The Box Turtle
"In Roeder's skillful hands, the little box turtle offers an inarguable message about the power of friendship and the importance of working with what one has." --Publishers Weekly

Roeder renders an adorable, rosy-cheeked (all four cheeks, when he's going about shell-free) Terrance in colorful pencil and acrylics, bringing the cute along with plenty of laughs . . . A sweet, affirming message brings things together in the end." --Booklist

Praise for Lucy and the String:

"An imaginative and entertaining tale of crafting and friendship." --Kirkus

"Roeder works in a gray-black-white palette lit up by the yarn's brilliant scarlet, and she paces the story's panels and vignettes with care while exploring the full range of the yarn's possibilities--dance partner, calligraphic script, building material, and more." --Publishers Weekly

"Pair this with Watkins' Pete with No Pants for some serious giggles." --BCCB

"Hilarious...This perfect blend of words and pictures is sure to have kids chuckling and perhaps trying their own string creations." --SLJ

"This delightful tale of unlikely friendship, cooperation, unisex dressing, and spontaneous creativity begs to be reread and shared!" --SLC
