“Having read all the reports and taken note of the editors' opinions, we can confidently state that your work was found to be a charming, entertaining and creative read. The heart-warming characters and the engaging narrative with its comic element that children and guardians will enjoy sharing together.”

“This is such a beautiful book and my children absolutely adored it. The lifelike illustrations truly complement the story within which makes it educational as well as thoroughly enjoyable. The moral of the story is communicated in such a gentle way, that my 5-year-old daughter could understand it and has even started using it in her day-to-day life. This book ticks many boxes and I look forward to reading more!”

“Dear Mrs Duffield,
I am the school councillor for Toucans class. Mrs Benwell gave us this book as a gift. We want to say how much we loved your book. Your story had a lovely message that we were all special. We really enjoyed the book. My favourite was the anteater! The illustration of the book! I loved the amazing designs of the book. The toucan looks amazing and it was really nice.”

Love from Nancy, Oliver and Toucans Class x

Dear Mrs Duffield

I've been wanting to share with you that we read your book in our evening reading routines along with other books! It's so much of Mrs. Duffield signature everywhere, very thoughtful and caring, and we enjoy it so much. I learnt myself many facts about the rainforest! Thank you very much. Hope you are well today and have a wonderful day. Kind Regards, Thomas Egan's mother, Akina. "

We love "Toucan's Best Day". It has introduced both myself and my daughter to a selection of rainforest animals with their own special traits. There is so much to learn from your story about our emotions and self-esteem. Highly recommended.
