The sweater is sooo soft and the colours look amazing together.
I should have used the sizing chart better as I arms are very big but oversized is in right!!??
I love these tea towels! They are easily the best I've ever had. They ACTUALLY DRY THINGS!!! And they're gorgeous, so that's even better. I really appreciate the foldover design so I can hang them on my stove and see the full design. They're perfect. I gave them as gifts to lots of family and all of them say the same - love them!

Such a cute book! Love it and perfect read for kids!
Soft & comfortable
Nice warm cozy sweater. Love the design!
great book for the little person in your life!
Such a great book about accepting emotions and coping when things don’t go our way. My toddler and I giggled together about the sweet rhyming story and the simple illustrations. When he is tired and upset, he now says “I’m a sad potato” and he takes some deep breaths. Rachael, you are a woman of many talents. Thank you for sharing your art and important message.
I received one as a gift at Christmas and decided to get one for a birthday gift since I loved mine so much. Next purchase I would like to make is one of your t-shirts, I only hesitate because I'm never sure of sizing.
A potato....who knew it could be something so versatile and relatable!
Kids loved it.
I loved it.
Instant classic!
Seriously so cute. Has become a staple in my daycare library. The kids absolutely adore it!
....was what my kids said when they saw it and immediately claimed it as theirs. They absolutely adore it and it has such a lovely message. Eagerly awaiting a sequel ;)
The little girl who received this book for Christmas was super happy when her mom read the book to her, she was full of smiles... I believe this book will be The little book to talk about as Andi grows up... Keep up the good writing Rachael!
Looking forward to your next publication.
This is a spudtacular little book and the a perfect addition to anyone’s bookshelf 😍
