Heelda the Cat and Friends
“As a parent, grandparent, teacher and member of library boards, I have read many books over the years. I love when children listen and read stories attentively and get thoroughly engaged with the book and its characters. I can honestly say the Heelda the Cat Series fits the bill for captivating children’s interest. The characters are thoughtfully portrayed and the illustrations are comical! Each book teaches lessons, and questions at the end are springboards for discussion. I believe young children everywhere will enjoy these tales.” -Carol Jacunski

“What a find! I have just finished the first four books in this series. The message in each is fun and informative with activities to showcase the lesson. The illustrations are colorful, charming and sure to interest young children. I plan to gift these books (and future works) to my young grandson so that he may learn and enjoy them as much as I did. Thank you Kimberly Petty Dellinger for sharing your creativity and talents.” -Margot Kuebler
