"The students were engaged in the story and fascinated with the photos. The students discussed the content of Nico's story and easily made connections to the text. Liberty Elementary students and teachers fell in love with Nico and Lola." –Mrs. Gwynne-Atwater, Principal Liberty Elementary School "Nico finds many ways to be kind to Lola. As he does his acts of kindness, we learn ways to be kind. Acts of kindness are not "planned" but are done out of love for another. Nico's love of Lola is heartwarming." –Mrs. Reimers, Teacher Immanuel Lutheran "I would recommend this story to all elementary classrooms. There is so much to be done with Nico and Lola at all levels of reading." –Mrs. Kowalski, Reading Specialist

Meggan Hill and Susan M. Graunke enjoy interacting with children on every level, encouraging them to explore the worlds of reading and writing. They hope their message of kindness resonates with students, teachers and school communities.
