"A meditation on confidence and parent-child bonding wrapped in a quirky, touching adventure."

—Kirkus Reviews (Verdict: Get It)

"Woven throughout the narrative are important messages about self-belief, perseverance, and teamwork. The dream-like landscape of rainbow-colored roads, cows in castles, and sheep rowing boats keeps the story rolling at an engaging pace, and readers will love watching Marichan, who is already courageous and determined, grow in self-confidence as she overcomes each new challenge. . . . Mari-chan and Roboto Bunny is a fun and uplifting story, perfect for any young reader who draws their confidence from a favorite toy."

—The Children's Book Review 

"Somewhere between the talking bunny and the rapping baby, this story does something sneaky: it helps kids sit with fear without being swallowed by it. . . . Marichan and Roboto Bunny is a tender, imaginative children's novel that knows exactly what it wants to be. It doesn't shy away from difficult emotions, but it never lets them overpower its sense of hope. Instead, it reminds young readers that bravery can look like thinking, asking for help, or simply taking the next small step forward."

—Independent Book Review 

"Whimsical, tender, and inventive; a complete delight."
