On Something More:  "Jean Fitzpatrick has written a wise, loving, and very useful book. I recommend it." Rabbi Harold Kushner, author of When Bad Things Happen to Good People

"Fitzpatrick's discussions stimulate readers to review their own lives and show them how best to transmit the lessons they've learned to the next generation." -- The Washington Post Book World

On Small Wonder:  "A wonderfully penetrating book that insightfully addresses the real questions that kids want to discuss in lucid, understandable language." -- Rabbi Earl Grollman, author of Talking About Death: A Dialogue Between Parent and Child
