Reviewed for Midwest Book Review Jul 07, 2009
By Christy Tillery French
"reviewer/writer"
Since her mother's death, Mia is trying harder than ever to be closer to her dad, who researches manatees. Like her mother, Mia senses manatees and helps her dad locate them but what Mia's dad doesn't know is that Mia can also communicate with the manatees. Mia's favorite manatee, Muzzles, is pregnant and Mia worries about her safety. Shortly after Muzzles gives birth, her baby is stolen, and Mia and her friend Clark place their own lives in danger to save her.
This is a creative, well-illustrated book which children will treasure. Mia is a sweet character and her friend Clark, who stutters and whose family is down on their luck, is the perfect counterpart. The story is heart-warming, the characters engaging, and the message concerning manatees and the dangers they encounter from humans important and welcome and very much needed. Parents and teachers will appreciate the premise for this book, which would be the perfect addition for school classrooms as well as school, home, and public libraries.

Multiple copies a must to keep on hand for young readers Aug 22, 2009
By Evelyn Asher
"Evelyn Asher, author"
Mia's Gift and accompanying website have delighted so many of my nieces, grandchildren, and others I have had the opportunity to celebrate. It is clear why Mia's Gift has won book awards from the day it was launched. What I love about the author is his eagerness to have children write to him after reading the book. A mother of the young lady I proffered the book to for her 8th birthday encouraged her daughter who is home-schooled to write to the author. This generation might just get back to social notes. You will want to buy more than one copy of this book.
