Miss L’eau Reviews

“T. Katz has written a wonderful book about how children can change the world and protect the ocean.  I recommend Miss L’eau to anyone who believes that the greatest gift we can leave for our children is a deep and inspiring connection to the natural world.”

"Miss L’eau, a contemporary fairy tale that will capture readers of all ages.  T. Katz brilliantly delivers an environmental message through a story of friendship, family, and giving back."

Students discover how to turn ocean science to advocacy and stewardship for healthy seas when Miss L’eau floods her classroom with the wonder and awe of ocean life.  Miss L’eau is ocean literacy at its finest; it shines with bioluminescent light.

“Miss L’eau combines a fun mystery plot with an important message regarding care of the ocean.  I especially appreciated the steps that the boys took to help Miss L’eau’s home, as it resembles our own International Coastal Cleanup.  Thank you for writing a book that will hopefully lead young people towards a love and stewardship of our world’ marine life.”

"Miss L'eau: very captivating.  I was inspired and it brought a tear at the end ... nice work!  I would share this with my classes for sure!  Inspiring and full of good plans and hope for future students.  This lays out a plan how we can all make a difference no matter what age or where we are from!  Mermaids are cool and the tie to this mythological creature and the need to protect the sea is a winner.  I wish I had a teacher like this when I was growing up, it would have gotten me on an eco-track a lot faster."

“Miss L’eau is a great story for kids of any age.  Miss L’eau is an amazing story that teaches us to save the earth and pass on the same influence to other people.  This book shows a great message.  I would recommend it to anybody who is interested in fantasy and loves the ocean.  Thank you T. Katz, for writing this book to show us an important message.”

Pythagoras Reviews

 “I always listen to Classical Music when I read.  How appropriate that I read your book to Beethoven’s Piano Concerto #5 and Chopin’s Piano Concerto #1 (with a little spill over into the First Brahms Piano Concerto).  Pythagoras is a magical piece of art.  I appreciate it so much when I’m exposed to something that is truly “heartwarming”.  I repeatedly felt this flow of warm joy run thru me while reading this book.  When Mrs. Brasshear cried with pleasure my eyes welled up, as they did several times as I was savoring your masterpiece.

 I consider myself an avid reader and cannot recall the last time I was so emotionally invested in a book.  It, literally, struck all the right notes.  Such a beautiful and meaningful story…Here’s to living life in the Key Of A!”

“Pythagoras is a charming book that I had fun reading with my own daughter.  It will, hopefully, be the impetus for many a young “musician to be” that will get them over the hump and to a point of experiencing the pure joy of recreational music making!”
