Praise for When the House was Bright Pink
I've always been a fan of Dr. Seuss & love the rhythm in rhymes.
These rhymes are nicely adult & don't make me feel juvenile, just
young at heart, especially since they are written from the perspective
of a child growing up in the 50's & 60's. Thoughtful, insightful, & unique.
Loved it! Loved the illustrations too!

This is a warm, sincere, fun loving collection of poems. Valencic's style is unique. I enjoyed reading the book very much. Everyone that reads it seems to relate to the special times when they were growing up. I am looking forward to Valencic's future books.

...I thoroughly enjoyed your book....There were many things that I could relate to as well, even though I grew up in a different place and in a different race, many of the experiences of growing up are similar.
