“Initially I purchased Bully Onion and the Garden Monster because it was written by the daughter of dear friends of mine! After reading it I found it to be a beautiful delightful story with loving characters and a wonderful theme. While I know it's a children's book I believe that "children of all ages"(I'm 78) would love it and learn from it .I will certainly be ordering more copies for all the "littles "in my family!”

Amazon Review

“This author had me at “Bully Onion.” Who has not encountered an obnoxious bulbed herb?

I expected the story to be charming but was blown away by the gorgeously colorful and creative illustrations. Well done, talented Ms. Emilia. The kiddies will love your garden and its lessons.”
