Reviews
“Words and pictures do an equally fine job delivering this winning message in ways that both children and parents will understand—easily.”
–Publishers Weekly

“Denton creates brightly lit watercolor classroom and playground scenes, strands Amber beneath a clock, then opens broader scenes to depict her imagined flights.”
–Kirkus Reviews

“Not only will Amber Waiting comfort children who may have to wait sometimes for busy parents, it is also an eyeopener for parents, reminding us that our lives should never get so busy that our children are left waiting.”
–Telegram
