"...the artist's vibrantly contrasted colors and decorative animal figures...deftly express the subtleties of emotion.
...Children - as well as adults - will be amused by the humour and the strength of the visual expression."
Kirkus Reviews
"Ms. Hubbard paints whimsical animals in a folk art, art
deco, just plain funky style". The message is simple:" A friend is the one
you call first news of any importance... A friend will tell you the truth
when you need it most... Friends make each other laugh". "It makes a fine
gift."
Baltimore Sun
"A small book in size, but large in ideas, The Friendship Book
would be a lovely gift for a friend of any age"... ..."Illustrated in a
colorful, high-spirited manner creating a joyous salute to the pleasures of
having a friend."
Times-Delta
"Artist Woodleigh Hubbard has created a compendium of exuberant and whimsical
illustrations, all in a celebration of the joys of friendship."
The News
"This tightly worded but lavishly-illustrated book is perfect for giving..."... "Hey I am one of Hubbard's friends too, because I'll call her first to tell her I like her book and I am cheering her on to write another like this."
