“Not exaggerating when I say this book is pure magic!! The story is sweet and inspiring, and the illustrations are next-level stunning. By themselves, each is its own work of art. Then you use the app to point your phone at the page, and suddenly the images surprise you and come to life. It's like each one becomes its own little universe – with beauty, movement, music, a positive message and an activity to do with kids (or by yourself).I've never seen augmented reality used like this, and can't imagine a more magical way to experience reading together. It may be called a children’s book – but it’s just as enjoyable for adults (maybe even more so). HIGHLY recommend.”

“Wow. I have truly never seen anything like this amazing book in my entire life. Everyone I’ve shown it to is blown away and wants to buy it for their kids and for themselves, and each time I read it myself and to my 3 and 6 yo grandsons I never cease to be astounded at how much we of all ages love this book. They continue to ask for us to read it to them, and then when we arrive at the interactive movies, we all become enchanted all over again. Doing the exercises together is such a sweet experience and I love how the movies take us deeper into the meaning of each exercise...such an original way to tell a story. There is fun, adventure, beauty, magic and deep truth in this completely innovative way of bringing a book to life. This is a must-read children’s book, rivaling the Little Prince and classics of Hans Christian Anderson. I can’t wait to see what Kayla Silber comes up with next and would love to see Rosie & Raven become a movie.”

“This book was an absolute joy to experience with my 3-year-old stepson. The augmented reality animations brought the story to life in a way I’ve never experienced before - I’m amazed this is the first book I’ve encountered that seamlessly combines this digital technology with the charm of a traditional printed format. As someone who appreciates the tactile joy of physical books and usually prefers to stay away from digital distractions, I was thrilled to find that the story stands strong on its own. That said, the AR features truly elevate the experience, revealing hidden surprises that can only be unlocked with the physical book in hand. You can tell the author appreciates physical books as much as I do and I love that the book itself contains such a magical and elevated experience.The illustrations are visually stunning and unique, with playful details and unexpected elements that keep you wanting to look at them again and again. Plus, the lessons woven masterfully throughout the book are meaningful and resonate deeply, especially for a 32-year-old man like myself. It’s a perfect balance of nostalgia and innovation, making it a memorable experience for both kids and adults alike.”

"As a mom of two imaginative little girls (ages 5 and 8), I'm constantly on the hunt for books that not only entertain, but also spark meaningful conversations — and Rosie & Raven completely blew us away. From the very first page, my daughters were mesmerized. They loved the illustrations, but when they saw how they came to life they lost their minds. For a solid week after I bought it, they begged me to read it again and again. They even sing along to the songs... there are so many ways to enjoy this book. And the interactive exercises were so sweet, I loved hearing what they were grateful for and listening to them say nice things about themselves... it gave us something to talk about beyond the story itself. As a mom, I appreciate the deeper message behind the story: that appreciation, gratitude and imagination can be powerful superpowers that we often forget about. If you're looking for a book that your kids will treasure, talk about, and carry in their hearts, this is it. We’ll be keeping our copy forever, and buying more as gifts for birthdays and holidays. Truly magical."

"At first I was skeptical. Most of the kids books we buy are under $20. But then I got this book and WOW, it just blew us away. It's unlike any other book you've ever read. First off it's not your normal 10 page kids book. It's a longer story - my daughter is 3.5 and it took 2 nights to read it (now we've read through it like 15 times). It's probably 40 pages (a lot of it is imagery - it's not overwhelming). The images are just magical honestly...they are so impressive. And then half way through the book you use an app to make the images come to life - they animate and tell a story - it SOO cool! But one of the greatest parts of the book is the amazing life lessons it conveys as it's telling a cute story. I felt like we I was reading a story and teaching lessons at the same time. My daughter was able to learn so many cute, important life lessons while reading Rosie and Raven. I highly recommend this to anyone with kids."

"I don't typically write reviews but after reading this book, I need to call out how special it is. Rosie & Raven is an absolutely beautiful book that brings its story to life in the most original and heartfelt way. The animation throughout is stunning. It really enhances the experience and draws you into the magical world of the characters. What makes this story so powerful are the messages woven throughout: the importance of friendship, choosing to help others even when it’s hard, and the idea that kindness has the power to change someone’s world. These are such meaningful lessons, not just for kids, but for adults too. The illustrations are gorgeous, and the story is both compelling and thoughtful. It’s the kind of book that sticks with you long after you’ve read it. While the augmented reality adds something truly special, it’s completely optional, the story stands strong on its own. You can do the connection exercises with your child or even with a friend and the animations are sort of a "reward" you get to experience after you complete them. I’d recommend Rosie & Raven for children aged 4 and up, but honestly, adults will love it just as much. It’s a wonderful reminder of the values that matter most. I'm looking forward to the next Kayla Silber book!"

Rosie & Raven is a special and unique book that I’d absolutely recommend to any parent looking to teach their child about gratitude, self-love, and mindfulness in a fresh, interactive way. It’s also perfect for kids who love stories full of magic and make-believe. My favorite part was definitely the augmented reality and the interactive exercises. They brought the story to life in the most beautiful and engaging way. The animations were stunning—I kept replaying them just to take in all the little details. The “Power of Words” animation really stood out to me. It’s a message I heard often from my own mother, and seeing it come to life with negative words transforming into positive ones, and opening the door, was incredibly powerful. It was such a great reminder that you have the power to shape your life and your world. This book isn’t just a story, it’s a meaningful experience that teaches kids (and reminds adults) about the importance of kindness, inner strength, and mindful choices. And in today’s world, those are lessons we need more than ever. Rosie & Raven is beautifully illustrated, deeply thoughtful, and offers a truly unique way to connect with kids about values that matter. I can’t recommend it enough.

"Rosie & Raven is INCREDIBLE! This story is exquisitely written, beautifully illustrated, and it comes to life with extraordinary animation through augmented reality. It is truly a 'next level' children's book, rich with powerful teachings and insights. The story is fun, charming and funny with great characters and lots of adventure. The illustrations are gorgeous - my best friend Dave is a former Disney animator and visionary artist and even he was blown away by the artwork. The addition of augmented reality lifts the beauty off the page and the accompanying songs add yet another dimension to the tale. This book really takes story-telling into new realms. My 7 year-old daughter Lumina has Down Syndrome and Autism and she absolutely loves this book. She calls it "The Magic Book" and this is by far the longest story to hold her attention. Thank you for this amazing creative offering. More please!"
