"Jean Voice Dart excels as a creative children's author in her vibrant partnering books, An Oinkrriffic Day! A Musical, Bully-Busting, Barnyard Adventure, and An OinkrrificDay! Activity and Coloring Book. You will want to read these delightful books of valuable character-building messages about listening to your heart and standing against the crowd. These two comprehensive books speak to the affirming power of a caring mother's encouragement, introduce children to a variety of musical instruments and animal sounds, and offer creative activity pages to fully engage your child. They are a must for any children's library!"

"Jean Voice Dart's An Oinkrrific Day! A Musical, Bully-Busting, Barnyard Adventure storybook and An Oinkrrific Day! Activity and Coloring Book are two sweetly sensitive partnering children's books about finding your own voice, standing up to bullies, forgiveness, and kindness. Filled with beautiful illustrations by the talented Anastasia Yatsuneko, the books introduce children to many musical instruments as Bernie, the adorable runt of the litter, journeys through the farm. The storybook provides darling rhymes and enchanting pictures; the partnering activity book includes mazes, word searches, counting activities, coloring pages, and much more. These books are a great addition to family libraries everywhere!"

"I love, love, love this book and can't wait to read it to my grandkids and children of my former students. Jean Voice Dart is a beautiful, bright light; talented and gifted musician; and a creative and inspirational teacher. The animal characters illustrated by Anastasia Yatsunenko are so lovable and adorable. The message to find your own song, in addition to accepting those of others, is a reminder we all need. I highly recommend An Oinkrrific Day! A Musical Bully-Busting Barnyard Adventure and the partnering book, An Oinkrrific Day! Activity and Coloring Book. Jean Voice Dart keeps sharing her positive and uplifting outlook on life throughout these seemingly sad, scary, and uncertain times. What a gift indeed!"
