Tremendous talent shown by both author and illustrator.” — Judge, 26th Annual Writer’s Digest Self-Published Book Awards
o “Simone Visits the Museum is an awesome book. As a parent, I am thrilled to find a book whose character resonates with my children. As someone who has been in DC for over 30 years it is refreshing to see a story that reflects a positive experience of a young brown girl. The book depicts the city and all it has to offer in a realistic and engaging way. As an entrepreneur, I am so proud of Kelsi for her persistence, commitment and integrity throughout the process.” — Ms. Melissa Bradley, Managing Director, 1863 Ventures
o “This book is delightful. The illustrations are beautiful and impressive. I enjoyed the way the book provided advice to children in a nuanced fashion: the appropriate way to behave in a museum, not being sassy with your parents, and insights on who some of the people who work in a museum are and what they do.” — Mr. George Norfleet, Author of A Pilot's Journey: Memoirs of a Tuskegee Airman, Curtis Christopher Robinson
