Raves for the Raven Who is a Therapist

This book grabs you from the outset and takes you on a hopeful journey: A colorful, spunky raven (with a Ph.D.) travels to Australia to meet a quokka who has lost his true smile, finds it hard to move and isn’t hanging out with friends anymore. Dr. G knows that depression is the culprit, and extends a listening ear and helping hand, all the while reassuring the quokka that lots of adults and kids feel depression, too!

“The illustrations are colorful and whimsical, and the fact that Amy takes us on a journey to Australia provides the novelty that keeps the book captivating and moving right along. I truly enjoyed reading this and I believe children with depression, and their parents, will find acknowledgment, guidance and hope in this little book. Enjoyable, informative and capable of capturing a child’s imagination.”
— Eliana Gil, Ph.D., Founder, Gil Institute for Trauma Recovery & Education, Fairfax, VA

“In her latest Lucky G book installment, Wilinski-Lyman makes the concept of play therapy accessible to children and parents. Speaking from experience, and from the heart, she presents therapy as a helpful tool for kids and fights stigma against depression. Her characters are easy to relate to for children and families alike. The vivid and expressive illustrations by Leela Green make this book a visual treat for all ages.”
— Marta Manning, former president NAMI Midland, MI chapter (National Alliance on Mental Illness)

“I liked the whole story. Blue was my favorite character–I would be friends with him. I liked how Blue was sad at the start and then was happy by the end.”
— Astor, 7 years old

Lake Superior is more than a body of water--it's a force of nature, a keeper of memories, and an enduring source of inspiration. In Feet in the Waves, thirty-six poets from across the Lake Superior region and beyond explore the lake's many moods: its icy grandeur, hidden dangers, quiet beauty, rich history, and deep emotional resonances.

From rocky shorelines and agate-strewn beaches to shipwreck legends, all interwoven with moments of spiritual reflection, these poems capture the unique relationship between people and the largest freshwater lake on Earth. With striking photographs by Arthur Durkee, this anthology invites readers to experience Lake Superior through a variety of perspectives.

Whether you know the lake well or have yet to encounter its vast horizon, Feet in the Waves offers a lyrical and unforgettable journey into Lake Superior.

"...the anthology's greatest accomplishment is reminding us that Lake Superior provides inexhaustible inspiration. Every contributor discovers a different shoreline, a different season, a different emotional current. Together they create a literary circle tour around the greatest of the Great Lakes--one that reveals not only the geography of Superior, but also the interior landscapes of those who love it." -- Victor R. Volkman, Superior Reads

"Feet in the Waves: Poems of Lake Superior is the type of book you can savor for a long time, a few poems tonight, some tomorrow, then next week, next month, dawdling through it, savoring pieces over time to let them sink in, drawing you into the depths of Lake Superior herself. Just remember to come up for air once in a while so you can continue to swim through the pages." -- Deborah K. Frontiera, UP Book Review
