"Filled with beautiful images and first sounds, Wishy Washy will encourage you and your little one to engage together over stimulating words and colorful concepts!"
-Kellie Power, M.S., CCC-Speech-Language Pathologist 

"Wishy Washy delivers carefully chosen text, word repetition, and playful watercolors to keep your reader engaged until the lighthearted ending, which will have your child giggling and asking you to read it again. Whether you are introducing new, simple words to your baby or helping your young child with sight words, Wishy Washy’s thoughtful text and artwork will provide the perfect opportunity to capture your child’s attention as they learn."
-Jenny Manca, MLS, Senior Youth Services Librarian, Allen Public Library

"Wishy Washy is the result of many years of persistent dedication by an artist, mother, and speech pathologist, who brings all her gifts to the table in the form of this delightful children’s book. The thoughtfulness in content as well as artistry is evident, and makes for an instant classic that needs to be on every child’s bookshelf!"
-Korie Herold, best-selling author of 10 books including As You Grow and Growing You


"I cannot say enough about the author, Tabitha Paige! From the illustrations to the engaging storylines to the vocabulary she integrates. She chooses every element in her books very carefully! Each time I read one of her books to my students, they love it! We especially love Wishy Washy! My students love swirling their paint brushes in the air and reading the words along with me, just as I’ve seen Tabitha model at one of her readings! I gift the Our Little Adventures series to new mommies at every baby shower I attend! They are always in awe when they open the books! Tabitha Paige is an incredible author/illustrator! As a former primary, Dyslexia, and special education teacher turned assistant principal, I highly recommend any and all of Tabitha’s books!"
—Kristi Davis, Assist Principal, Killeen ISD
