"Everyone has been Timothy Shmoe at one time or another... Kids and adults alike will identify." - Kirkus Reviews

"Line and watercolor–styled cartoon art and giggle-inducing hand-lettered apology notes capture the damages done vis à vis the contrition on offer."

"There are laughs in The Sorry Life of Timothy Shmoe but also lessons about intention, consequences and forgiveness. Timothy Shmoe is anybody who makes mistakes and then has to face the consequences for those mistakes. That's all of us."

"This humorous story is one that both children and adults will enjoy together." - Youth Services Book Review

"As raucous as it is kindhearted and comforting ... Terrifically funny and thoughtful."

"Fun comic-style illustrations lovingly illustrate the ups and downs of life with an impulsive kiddo and the power of unconditional love. A funny and heartwarming story to read together."

"Laugh-out-loud funny. Adults are likely to find as much humour, enjoyment and possibly even relatability in this story as do the young children for whom it was intended."
