MARY RICE HOPKINS / Family Children's recording artist & author - "Megan Heats Baking" is a terrific new series, and will inspire so many girls to be who God intended them to be --- and that's the best part!"

JOANNE WEIR (She is a James Beard Award-winning cookbook author, cooking teacher, chef and public television personality. Joanne is the host of "Joanne Weir's Cooking Class", a 26-part cooking series currently airing on public television)- "I read your book and loved it. I liked it so much I sent it along to my neice who is 8 years old and of course, loves to cook."

ROBIN MILLER (Host of Quick Fix Meals on the Food Network)- This gem is more than prose and delectable cupcake recipes, it's a heartwarming story that teaches young girls how to plan, execute and make dreams come true. Megan's simple quest for the perfect treat for a friend's birthday party turns into cherished time with her mother. These precious moments not only boost her confidence, they create family bonds and lifelong memories. All young girls will feel empowered after reading such a lovely tale.

CHERYL (from the "Baker who Cooks" blog)- just thought of letting you know that I enjoyed reading the chapters you sent me. It brought a warm smile to my face especially since I can so relate to Megan. :) When I first started baking and faced my own baking disasters, i too felt discouraged but thank God i was a persistent baker. I baked and baked until i got the hang of it. i think this book is great for any kid who dreams of being a baker or simply pursuing any hobby they are enthusiastic about and turn it into something so much more!

JAN SILVIOUS (author, counselor, and popular speaker known for her Biblically sound, psychologically positive answers to women's challenges)- I enjoyed 'Megan Hearts Baking.' Made me want to get busy making some cupcakes -- and trust me, I would feel good about myself, if I did. You all have done a great job. Love the words, love the pictures. Keep going as you bless the young girls of this generation.

MICHELE SORNSON (mother, wife, and a book reviewer)- Megan Hearts Baking is a story of a young girl afraid to bake due to a lousy past experience with baking. The story follows Megan as she faces her fear head-on, with a little help and encouragement from her mother. As she runs into a few problems, we see Megan work through her emotions. There is a clear message inspiring girls to not give up when things get tough, and to try to find a different approach if need be. The text is easy reading and the colorful illustrations capture they eye. The book even includes a bonus recipe at the end! It would be a good book for a parent and daughter to share at bedtime, over the course of a few evenings.

STUART REB DONALD (Stuart is the Executive Chef at Mars Hill Café in Mobile, AL and a freelance food writer whose work has appeared both online and in print)- I did get a chance to read Megan Hearts Baking and it is a genuine delight. Fore and Fate's prose is age-perfect and greatly enhanced by the illustrations of Ying Xie. In addition to the charming narrative, there are also examples of women who have turned a love a baking into successful businesses as well as a handful of other scrumptious recipes. Meagan Hearts Baking is a wonderful way to introduce a young one to the joys of the kitchen.""
