From the Author

"In precarious times such as ours, many children imagine a world where they can orchestrate their surroundings. When the real world turns topsy-turvy, they can visit a place called Topsy Turvy Land - a place of peace and whimsy, with the understanding that, while only God can create, it's so much fun to imagine!"

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent children's book with lots of imagination and "love" built into it, April 20, 2006

This review is from: Topsy Turvy Land (Paperback)

Topsy Turvy Land is a book where kids explore the "what if's" of creation. What if colors were different? What if snakes could sing? Donna Shepherd utilizes her excellent writing skills to introduce children and their parents to a world of possibilities. In the midst of all of the topsy-turvy, she even had time, with her illustrator Kevin Scott Collier to add "love" to her book - the question is - Can you find all of the hearts?

5.0 out of 5 stars Charming, imaginative story that will delight children, September 2, 2006

I loved this story. Donna Shepherd's Topsy Turvy Land is original, charming and imaginative. Though I haven't had a chance to read the story aloud to a young child, I can't wait to read it to my grand nieces and nephews or to my future grandchildren. I know that when my sons were around four or five years old they would have loved the fanciful animals Donna Shepherd describes as she imagines a different whimsical and colorful world. They would have chimed in with their own made up animals and colors for the landscape. And while this is a fun story that stimulates imagination, it has a sweet message about the beauty of God's creation just as it is. The artwork complements the story beautifully.
