Praise

“Jocelyn’s charming, intricate collages magically turn cloth, buttons, and other materials into lively, colorful, multidimensional scenes. Children will enjoy the pictures and relate to this day in the life of a typical pre-schooler.”
School Library Journal

“…delightfully child–friendly…There are so many things to see and so many different objects…used to make the pictures that numerous readings will be welcomed.”
Booklist

A Day With Nellie is a delightful picture book… Strong, playful color illustrations resembling paper cutout models make this a particularly vibrant and happy tale for beginning readers.”
Children’s Bookwatch

“The book irresistibly draws the child in and encourages the reader to point and name objects. Marthe Jocelyn’s cloth collage is cheerful and child-like… The end-papers…are joyful and inviting.”

“Marthe Jocelyn has surely been a mother of a pre-schooler, for her simple text about the rhythms and choices of a small girl’s day is not only fun, it rings true…Who could resist this beautiful book?”
Children’s Book News

“As with her stunning Hannah books, Marthe Jocelyn has again crafted delightful child-appealing collages to accompany her text… What distinguishes this catalogue of preschool activities…is the strength of its illustrations… This book will be sure to be a winner with the preschool set. Highly Recommended.”

Even better than the text, however, are the illustrations…that will attract the readers (and listeners) to the story… A Day with Nellie is sure to delight children and adults alike…I highly recommend this book for school and public libraries.”

Toronto Star

The Chronicle-Herald
