"(The) Book has been a great addition to the shop, everyone is most taken with it. And thank you so much for signing them!"

"We really enjoyed your book...it's a great story and so educational at the same time...the illustrations are beautiful."

"Bright, colorful, whimsical creatures abound in Bonnie's garden, where she discovers two monarch caterpillars on milkweed, and watches as one becomes a butterfly. In addition to the story, garden tips are included about how to attract monarchs to your garden, so you too can watch the magic of caterpillars turn into butterflies."

"The magic of metamorphosis as seen through the eyes of a child. A captivating and colorful story for the whole family to share and enjoy."

“Quiel’s beautifully designed illustrations are fresh, vibrant, playful, and eye-catching—perfect for capturing the imagination of children of all ages.”

“I am the owner of a small book store in Burlington Iowa. My clerk had said you were in my store to show us a book you created called Airplanes in the Garden- I love the illustrations!”
