Praise for I Will Love You Forever (Tyrannosaurus Series)

"I must say for a short read this left me quite emotional . . . The art will definitely be great for kids and adults can read this to children without being bored or annoyed by childish language or cliches." —Sheena-kay Graham, queendsheena.blogspot.com

"Readers of all ages will be able to engage with this book with varying degrees of insight. Beneath this deceptively simple tale of ancient reptilian family life lies a story of surprising complexity and contemporary relevance." —Kirkus Reviews starred review

"I highly recommend this series and I think this story is probably most accessible of the three I’ve read for those who aren’t looking for a totally out-there picture book reading experience." —Bruce Gargoyle, thebookshelfgargoyle.wordpress.com

"Miyanishi’s bold graphics are as saturated with color as the story is with emotion; an abrupt and somber ending offers no easy answers to Heart’s questions." —Publishers Weekly

"Although the series originated over a decade ago in Japan, the titles seem presciently timely now: words like 'weakling,' 'worthless,' 'mean,' sound all too familiar while phrases like 'do anything he wanted to because he was strongest,' '[p]ower and strength mean everything,' and 'nasty, violent bullies,' reverberate too often in current public conversations." —Terry Hong, smithsonianapa.org

"These stories make me weep with an intensity usually ascribed to Greek tragedy or long distance commercials. My five-year-old loves all of them, and the mistaken identity plot lines are central and deep for her." —Rivka Galchen, Words without Borders
