What our readers say about Mango & Marmalade Stories Series

Book 1 – Sam & Sophie at the Festival

I enjoyed this book. I will share an excerpt: "We thank you all for coming to this culture day of ours. And may we always remember, that, like the stars, we're unique. And we all have stories and cultures of which we all must speak. This is a great book.

This book is a wonderful way to introduce kids to a new culture! Its fun focus on food and sports gently encourages little ones to step out of their comfort zones and try new things. It’s engaging, relatable, and a perfect read for curious minds.This is a great book.

Book 2 – Sophie & Sam's Rainy Day Treat

This is a great little story that kids can enjoy on a rainy day, at bedtime, or anytime. The story rhymes all the way through, which is not easy for authors to do. It also has great illustrations, which are sure to hold young readers' attention. It even has a great little fact page at the end that helps kids learn. This is a great book.

Sophie and Sam: Rainy Day is a charming short story that blends the warmth of family bonds with the thrill of a cozy adventure. With delightful illustrations and engaging text, the story is suited for young readers. At its heart, the story carries an uplifting message: when life hands you lemons, make lemonade.

This is such a charming story.. Sophie and Sam’s rainy-day adventure with their mom shows how love and creativity can turn an ordinary day into something special. The rhyming text is fun to read aloud, and the colorful illustrations kept my child interested all the way through.. A cozy, heartwarming book for kids.
