     Professional Reviews
    Personal Peaks
    "Our journey to find meaning through change, new experiences, and even the pain of loss speaks to the core of our being. The writings in Personal Peaks awaken that part in each of us that seeks to connect with the greater existence of life in the world around us."
    Dave Reed, Ph.D., CEAP - Clinical Psychologist and EAP Consultant
    "Personal Peaks captures the reality of both the external and internal nature of life lived on the move. Readers will enjoy reflecting on their own experiences as they see common themes put into poetic language."
    Ruth E. Van Reken, Author/Speaker, Co-Author, "Third Culture Kids: The Experience of Growing Up Among Worlds"
    "Enjoy brief glimpses from Personal Peaks to inspire your day."
    Mark Victor Hansen, Co-creator, #1 New York Times best-selling series Chicken Soup for the Soul®
    "Everyone can relate to the emotions that Personal Peaks expresses thoughtfully and vividly. Moving impacts people despite preparation, anticipation, or resolve."
    Jean Mather, MA, Department of English, California State University
    Let's Move Together
    "Ms. Schubeck has done an excellent job distilling the core ideas of cognitive behavioral therapy (feelings, thoughts, and actions) into an easy-to-read, child-friendly user's manual. Given that roughly one-third of our military population moves every three years, this handy little book has direct applicability for my clinical work as Air Force Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist. But, as Tom the Turtle teaches, the lessons about moving are universal; this book should be in the waiting room of every clinican who treats children."
    David L. Kutz, MD, Board Certified Child, Adolescent, and General Psychiatrist
    "Let's Move Together is reader-friendly, beautifully illustrated book that answers children's questions and alleviates their concerns about moving. Tom Turtle offers sound advice and practical tips before, during, and after the move. Especially recommended for military families or families who are constantly "on the go."
    Andrea Antico, School Librarian, Department of Defense Schools, Camp Zama, Japan
    "An excellent resource for parents, children, and personnel involved in the relocation process. Through the eyes of Tom Turtle, the book provides valuable discussion and advice for a successful relocation and adjustment in the new location."
    Diana Badia, International Human Resource Consultant, Assisted Hundreds of Families Relocate Domestically and Internationally
    "Fantastic way to help kids discover and express their emotions about moving. Very kid friendly. The illustrations create a warm and comfortable format."
    Ella, SOS Bookstore, New Mexico
    "Let's Move Together is a much-needed guide for families on the move. The book aids busy parents while addressing the needs of the children. I am pleased to offer this delightful storybook to my clients and recommend it highly to the real estate community."
    Pat Monahan, Realtor, Huntington Beach, CA
    "Kevin, age 6 & Nigel, age 9 from Toronto, Canada eagerly discussed feelings and solutions found in Let's Move Together. The characters in the book provided universal wisdom for the boys when moving from the Philippines to Canada."
    Dale Flores, Web Consultant, San Jose, CA
    “Valuable book for children in foster care who make multiple moves!”
    Rosemary Ford, MSW, Los Angeles County
    "The US military sends families all over the world, and many times families struggle with this move. Carol Schubeck’s book is a god send for these families. There are wonderful suggestions for children about what to do before, during, and after the move. My favorite part is where the author suggests to children what they might bring in their suitcases. Often times military families live out of their suitcases for months. I little bit of home or fond memories makes for a successful move. Every parent should share this book with their children before they move!"
    K. Straub, 3rd grade teacher
    "Let's Move Together provides guidance for children by offering comforting, and easy-to-follow ideas that turn moving into a positive and learning experience."
    Nelson Ho, Web Consultant, San Mateo, CA
     Customer Reviews
    Let's Move Together
    "Working in the military community, we see families come and go on a regular basis. "Let's Move Together" is a wonderful book that encourages all family members to deal with the difficulties of moving and make it a positive experience for everyone."
    Betsy Mortenson, Director, Navy Fleet Gift Shop, Okinawa, Japan
    "Let's Move Together is a delightful book, discussing the issues of transition which are so important to each member of any family who is moving. Whether children read it for themselves or, more optimally, parents read and discuss the story of how Tom Turtle and Eli Elephant feel, think, and cope with moving, all might be surprised to find themselves in these pages too. This book serves as a tremendous resource for parents, educators, and counselors of children who are caught in the new lifestyle spawned by today's highly mobile and rapidly globalizing world. It deserves a place on the bookshelf of every school, as well as in the library of every family who have or will be making a move."
    Ruth E. Van Reken, Author of "Letters Never Sent" and co-founder of "Families In Global Transition."
    "Let's Move Together put me in touch with the emotions of relocation and provided me with concrete, safe, and fun ways to look at them and 'move' on. As an adult, I realized moving is more than practical tasks. A great book for anyone from 3 to 103."
    Sherry Howard, Los Angeles, CA
    "As a parent of a toddler, I am challenged to teach many new skills. Let's Move Together provides lots of suggestions for just that. This is a valuable reference book in time of transition. My child responded to the beautiful pictures and concise words.
    Misty Cushman, Parent, Orange, CA
    Personal Peaks
    "Personal Peaks shows each reader the reserve of inner strength and potential to grow and dream. It is a book that encourages the wanderlust in all of us."
    Jeanne Staivisky, Consultant, Germany, Hawaii, Japan
    "Inspirational help providing wisdom and strength to increase one's level of awareness."
    David Christensen, Accountant, Aliso Viejo, CA
     Children's Quotes
    Let's Move Together

    "Beautiful book. I loved the ideas."
    Marie (age 11, moved internationally)
    "I like the part about the feelings. I have lived in Okinawa for 5 years and I am moving this summer. I took the book to school and my teacher read "Let's Move Together" to the whole class."
    Mia Romero (age 8, Daughter, United States Marine)
    “My grandmother first read :Let’s Move Together to me when I was 4. Now I have moved three times and I am 13 years old. The pictures and story captured what I was feeling and gave me advice. Although I stayed in the same town, I changed schools with each move. “Let’s Move Together” has great pictures, characters, and helpful ideas."
    Aaron (age 13)
    “Good for children ages 4-7. The characters are fun for children.”
    Corina (age 12)
