Recenzii
"I shared this series with my 2nd grade class and was delighted with the response! I read one book a week, per library session. Though it took three weeks, the class eagerly awaited each new story. They were very excited to return to the Salty Splashes adventures each week. The story itself was exciting and sweet. They very much enjoyed watching the character's relationships grow through their shared journey. The illustrations were bright, beautifully done and colorful! They added wonderfully to the story line. I highly recommend this series as an addition to any elementary school library!" ~ Sally Ingle, Imperial Elementary School, Anaheim, CA 5/23/13
"I really like Isle of Mystery. I loved all the carictors [sic]. It was like the book came to life...Sammy was my favorite because I love dogs and he was verry [sic] brave...he is so cute and he brings adventure in the book. We read it aloud and it was fun...the book was great I would see the book in a 3D animated movie." ~ Abby, 11, Washington
"I am a 1st grade teacher and read Isle of Mystery, Dreamy Drums and Gansevort to my students and, to say the least, they LOVED them! They are now a beautiful addition to my classroom library and are constantly being read and appreciated. Thanks Balcony 7 Media and Publishing and JZ Bingham!" ~ Catie Moss, Teacher, Orlando Park School, Illinois 5/14/13
"I read Isle of Mystery to my girls last night and I couldn't believe they didn't fidget. They stared and were all ears. Your rhyme flowed like butter. Here's a video of my oldest girl because she loved your book so much." ~ Rosetta W., Children's Therapist, Ventura, CA 2/13/13
[Excerpt from that video, which is posted on www.balcony7.com: "I'm going to read this to my sister, like, every night! It was a cool and lovely story!" ~ Selah W., 9, Ventura, CA 2/13/13
"I like Salty Splashes books a lot. Let me list what I liked about them: (1) They are adventure stories, but not too scary for younger kids; (2) They rhyme in a natural, not forced, way; (3) They are actually a series...and you all know that I love series; (4) The characters are all animals and, oftentimes, unlikely friends (e.g., a dog and a cat); (5) They bring in new friends in each book; (6) They are kids who will be kids, so real kids can relate to them; (7) The illustrations are hand-drawn, very colorful, and super neat. I think the best part of these books is that they actually read like fiction and would appeal to a wide range of ages...I have to admit that I had never heard of Children's Illustrated Fiction before these three landed on my doorstep. But now that I have, I'm a big fan. This is a very cool concept and done really well. I will definitely be reading these books to my grandkids. Count me among JZ's fans!" ~ Lloyd Russell, The BookSage, Los Gatos, CA 4/16/13
"Isle of Mystery, Eyes of The King, follows Sammy and his group of accidental explorers far from home in what quickly becomes a fast-paced tale of discovery and trickery. Young readers will grow to love Sammy and his various companions..." ~ Stella P. Goodreads Reviewer, English Major, Anaheim, CA 5/2/13
"In the second installment of the Salty Splashes Collection, Sammy, Kat and friends have become marooned on an island with no idea of what to do next...Finding a trail, the friends encounter many new and creepy critters who are not very friendly...As night settles in, our crew is just settling down for the night; what adventures may come tomorrow? The easy rhyming continues as does the colorful animated characters. The text connects to the illustrations extremely well and the reader gets a sense of the dangers and new environment the friends are experiencing." ~ Jennifer Szoch, Book Reviewer/Presenter 5/18/13
"I just wanted to touch base and let you know that I presented the entire Salty Splashes Collection at a couple recent workshops and the librarians and teachers loved it! They were saying it was a perfect trilogy for children! Just wanted to pass on some good feedback! Thanks so much." ~ Jennifer Szoch, Book Reviewer/Presenter 7/22/13

Comentariile autorului
What Inspired Salty Splashes:
My Shih-Tzu puppy brought me joy during a lonely time and inspired me to begin writing in earnest after a long dry spell (Samira is the Sammy character in Salty Splashes; I turned her into a male because she's such a tomboy). The writing process evolved quickly thereafter, drawing further inspiration from my surroundings in Santa Barbara: namely the Channel Islands (where my cartoons have their initial adventures) and the bobcat that lives in the canyon behind my home (he became Beardsley, an integral character).
The Importance of Children's Literacy:
I began reading before Kindergarten and grew to take it for granted. After becoming an adult literacy tutor at my local library, I learned of the prevalence of illiteracy among adults and children. It was shocking. One of the statistics I cite on my website reveals 4th grade is a turning point for children's literacy. Salty Splashes books were written with this age group in mind, and those even younger. The "hybrid" component of these books combines picture book appeal with chapter book fiction, providing an important new vehicle for early to mid-elementary school children who are on the cusp of independent reading. There's a void in the market place for this type of book. Children's Illustrated Fiction, as many parents, teachers, and librarians have validated since the release od Salty Splashes, is exactly what they've been looking for. Actual testimonials over the last two months specifically point out how 2nd and 3rd graders view picutre books as too young and boring, but are intimidated by text-only chapter books. Cartoons and adventure stories in Salty Splashes are getting these kids to read. This will help keep a lid on illiteracy.
The Power of Cartoons:
Not all cartoons speak to children, even though all children seem to be drawn to colorful illustrations. Salty Splashes cartoons were written to fill what I believe is a void in wholesome entertainment for kids, akin to the Looney Tunes and Peanuts cartoons I grew up with. The power of cartoons is how relatable they can be to a child and how this familiarity may be used to gently introduce important life lessons that can be more easily understood from the youthful perspective of a child. Parent and teacher feedback has been strongly positive regarding the moral messages and deep symobolism in these books. In fact, parents are using the character's predicaments as talking points to let kids vocalize their own views on how trouble could be avoided and recognize the importanace of loyalty, respect and team work. This makes reading time even more of a bonding experience, and it also spreads out the enjoyment of each book by allowing it to be broken down into bite-size pieces.
