"Winchell...and her illustrator, Renee Andriani, are exceptionally qualified to tell this story. Both have worked tirelessly with Rock of Ages Lighthouse Preservation Society to maintain the lighthouse for future generations."

"This is a great children's story filled with adventure and hope!"
--Grandparent
"I gave your book to our head librarian at the Cazenovia (NY) Library today. I loved Quiet Pup’s first appearance
and the illustrations. The whole thing is wonderful, and I loved the historical info at the end."
--Retired Teacher and Grandparent
"The historical story of a pup who was smuggled onto a remote Lake Superior Lighthouse!"
--Boreal Community Media - Grand Marais, MN
"I identified with Quiet Pup and I teared up in the beginning of the book. I had elementary teachers who wrote
on my report cards: Wendy knows the answer but needs to raise her hand! Ha! At the time, I did not agree.
Nearly 20 years later I joined the Peace Corps. Now I'm working with kids with autism
and helping them find their voice. Thank you for writing that book.”
--Store Manager and Educator
"Your comments about the dog being quiet were so important to me, because I want quiet children to know they are just as valued as the kids who raise their hand first and are not afraid to speak. The quiet ones need just a little bit more time! And they are just as capable of having big adventures. And being leaders who make a difference."
--Deborah Winchell
"The story is well written and a good read!"
