    Wendy Francisco, Illustrator wrote:

    “Here we have a little girl who does what we all do — she sets out on a quest to find God. She explores the boundaries of her world, asking man and nature for clues. She doesn’t find all of God in the expected places, but finally, in the place she least expected. And how often it is true, that what we most deeply yearn for turns out to be native to us. Stella’s Secret is a simple story with layers of meaning. It is delightful and, almost unnoticed, it slips a potent and validating concept into our hands that we won’t likely forget.” 

    Bess Rhoades, Outeur wrote:

    Fantastiese storie! Jy het so ‘n pragtige manier om die misterie en opwinding van God in kindertaal te verbeeld. Die blomme, die see, die diertjies, asook Tannie Jana speel so ‘n mooi rol om die wondergeheimenis van God bekend te maak. Jy hou die opgewondenheid van ‘n skattejag speel-speel in die prentjie. Mag elke kind hierdie grootste van alle geheime in hulself ontdek!

    Erin E. Mccarty wrote:

    This gentle tale is the story of a spiritual search. Where is God? Little Stella is determined to find out, and each friend – human and not – that she encounters provides insight, but her seeking continues until one conversation causes her to gain a new perspective…

    Lydia Du Toit’s narration is quietly tender and poetic, with each speaker’s dialogue distinct from the next, while Wendy Francisco’s richly evocative paintings feature gorgeous landscapes and expressive characters.

    As a seeker myself with the heart of a mystic, I appreciate the characterization of faith as a journey into deeper understanding. The book values the innate intuition of childhood as well as insights gained over a lifetime of spiritual pursuit. The book points toward Christ but values intimate experience over dogmatism.

    The winsome Stella holds appeal for fellow children and anyone who still carries a sense of childlike joy and wonder. If you still haven’t found what you’re looking for, you may well find in the questing Stella a kindred spirit.

    This is a beautiful, lyrical book for children and adults alike. The story and the illustrations lead you into the stella’s journey as if you were her friend beside her. I was delighted to read to my grandchildren and share the great love from the pages.
