"I have read book 1 and 2 to my students and I am currently reading book 3.  Our library just got a copy of each book and my students couldn't wait to check them out! We have three 2nd grade classrooms and the other 2 teachers are in the process of reading book 1. We can't wait to read them all!"
-Ms. Lambert, 2nd grade teacher

“My son and two daughters love Lindie Lou, Book 1, FLYING HIGH! The book gets read at least once a week at our house. From a parent’s perspective, I love the factual information. It makes the book educational as well as entertaining. We have decided to read the entire series together.”
-Ms. Van Cuyk, Educator/Parent

"I wanted to share that the Lindie Lou books you donated are virtually flying off our shelves! I’m so pleased that our Program Coordinators are loving them, as I know the children will. Thank you, again, for your partnership."
-Carol K. Henault, Executive Director, Reading Is Fundamental of Southern California

​"Book 1, FLYING HIGH... The first installment of this new series features a lovable puppy and a travel-centric theme I loved. Jeanne Bender touches on the fear and uncertainty that kids face as their worlds grow bigger with a thoughtfulness that is wonderful. I really loved the fun facts and event calendar at the back of the book and look forward to learning more about all the different places Lindie Lou travels in this series. The font choices and simple illustrations help to make this story more visually compelling for younger readers who are not ready to tackle solo reading just yet."
​​​​-Shaina Birkhead, Children's Book Council

“My girls love Lindie Lou! The book gets read at least once a week at our house. From a parent’s perspective, I love the factual information. It makes the book educational as well as entertaining.”
-Carolyn, Parent

"Book 2, UP IN SPACE is a "page turner." My daughter and I read through all 18 chapters quickly. The large fonts and colorful illustrations are delightful. I also like that Lindie Lou learns life lessons along the way."

“I am a fourth grader at Horizons Elementary School. When I read the first book, Flying High, it really inspired me to write my own children’s book."

“I attended a presentation by Jeanne Bender and Nancy Kiefer during a Literacy Night at one of our elementary schools. It was amazing to see their manuscripts from the very beginning until the final publication. I thought it was very interesting to hear about the process and how much work becoming an author really is.”
-Ms. Wayland, Library Media Department Head
 
“After having Jeanne Bender and Nancy Kiefer present at our school, I saw students who have a hard time getting excited about anything, excited about reading and writing.”
