“That book touches my heart, makes me wonder –my favorite is page nine- Where is the me I was? –and the closing – Who can I ask? You have a treasure here to be sure.”
Jennifer Bigelow, Southern California Independent Booksellers Association

“I love the images with: If the earth is our home, can we ever be lost? And Do our dreams know our secrets? Tracy Gallup has done it again. A Roomful of Questions, like the Crazy series, is page after page of delightful illustrations that speak to the heart. I love her work both as an author and illustrator. This book should fly off the shelves.”
Wanda Jewell, Southern Independant Book Sellers Alliance

“I think this book is being published at a good time. With titles like Eat Pray Love, A New Earth and the Last Lecture topping national lists, this title seems to be following similar themes. It is also being portrayed in a very beautiful and creative way that would likely appeal to a wider age range.”
–A big time book and for the time being, anonymous reviewer

“This is beautiful. Thank you for sharing it with me.”

“Wow. Magical. Thank you so much for sharing this with me. It goes straight to your heart. The illustrations illuminate the story. My only comment would be the colors in the illustrations are so soft, so delicate that the red cover seems too bring and glaring. I’m not sure if that even helps as the book may have already been printed, but if not……”

“Haunting, magical, mystical…. These adjectives come readily to mind. Each illustration captures the essence of its question. I will purchase this book for gifts to very special people.”

“Love it!  When is it coming out and can it be preordered?”

“I just received your e-mail about the confidential book preview and went to the site. It is awesome- very thought provoking questions and beautiful pictures!”

“This was an amazing preview! I love its open-ended thoughts/questions and the illustrations are amazing? Thanks for the sneak-peak!”

“I am a teacher of the deaf/hearing impaired – A Roomful of Questions is absolutely fantastic! Very good especially for deaf children due to the visuals! Terrific book!”

“As I am retiring this year from 33 years in education, your book preview allowed me to revisit questions that I asked when I had time to ponder. Now, with more time, I can revisit my past. Please let me know when and where I can purchase it. Thanks for reawakening my memories.”

“I love the book. I love the questions and the illustrations and I believe it will be very successful.”

“Thank you for including me in this confidential book review. The drawings are beautiful and thought provoking indeed. What she has included and the way the questions have been drawn do challenge our perceptions.”

“Great book very thought provoking, which is a very good way for a book to be!”

“I found A Roomful of Questions short, sweet and delightful.

“Rather than respond with a simple, generic ‘I like it/don’t like it’ comment, here’s my response: I would use this book in my high school classroom. The questions are thought provoking and would work well as journal prompts and discussion starters; imagine students ‘pondering’ a bit.

“I just read A Roomful of Questions and I was wondering when this book would be available for purchase. I teach third grade and I think this book would really get some kids thinking and it could bound off into a wonderful writing activity.”

“I thought this book was beautiful in both words and drawings. I was particularly impressed with the final picture of the child looking at the cricket, or was it a grasshopper? Who can I ask?”

“Thanks for sending me the preview. I love Tracy’s work! I keep a copy of her Stone Crazy on my mantle. Her new book is a thing of wonder and a joy to behold.”

“This is a lovely book, very thought provoking indeed. The illustrations have a gentle quality about them. Thanks for the privilege of viewing it.”

“I definitely enjoyed A Roomful of Questions! Some of the questions even stuck with me for a day or so and I found myself going back to look at the illustrations again. I think different people will find different parts that will resonate with them personally and maybe that will have different meanings to them at different times of their lives.”
