Exquisitely beautiful! Knight's themes of friendship, family, love, empathy, justice, mercy, and compassion speak volumes as to why this novel needs to be in the hands of our young people.
-Rosie Sansalone, a middle school ELA teacher for 27 years
I enjoyed the thread of seahorse facts and of the innocence of youth bravely stepping up to intervene on behalf of vulnerable animals. An uplifting story that celebrates the aloha culture of Hawaii.
-Jen Molitor, middle school ELA teacher, Clarksville, Ohio
I couldn't stop thinking about Sophie Kai from the moment I opened the book to flipping the last page shut. Every middle schooler should read What The Seahorse Told Me!
-Elsie Fricke, 6th grader
This book is amazing! Parts were sad, happy, funny, helpful, and the biggest one is friendly. I give it 5 stars!
