The Secret Remedy Book (Orchard/Scholastic, 2003) was called "a gentle story" in Kirkus Reviews, which also noted, "solace, ritual, simplicity, tenderness, and care for the natural world are offered on each page as naturally as breathing".[8] It received a starred review from Publishers Weekly, which noted, "the leisurely pace of the text" and that the book "reflect[s] a faith that all will be completed in a timey way, without rushing".[9]
