The illustration of the library reading cove is so close to the real thing, that you do a double take every time you see it.

A huge thank you to Mascot Books and their illustrators for really making this book come alive!!”

“Dove Academy is the first school in Michigan to publish a children's book through Mascot Books! Our school's children's book, We Love the Dove!, that I wrote in the fall of 2009 will be a keepsake for our school community for many years to come. The book captures in personalized words and colorful illustrations the culture of our school. We hope that long after our students complete their experience at our Academy, they will be able to read through We Love the Dove! and reflect upon the many happy memories they developed during their time at our school. In addition to capturing "a day in the life" of Dove Academy, we were able to highlight some key elements of our No Excuses University Program. Dove Academy is also the first No Excuses University (NEU) Program in the state of Michigan, so we were proud to present the key features of our NEU Program in our book. The Mascot Books team made the experience easy for me and provided all the support I needed to become an author! Thank you Mascot Books for helping us a create a book that our entire school community will treasure. On a personal note, thank you for helping me realize a life long dream to become a children's author. I can't wait to work with you again! ”

Our “Hello, Ranger!” book is an excellent keepsake that will become a family favorite through the years. Our students were so excited about the book and especially the illustrations.

Shani Seidel and Brad Vinson have an intuitive knowledge about what is most important to Kirby Hall, our school day and how we relate to students. They knew that faculty members are the key to our school's success and produced a book that expresses the essence of our every day family life the faculty affords.
