” … very funny …”

“They’re charming & engaging & you made the simplicity a strength. I love the themes of building a family & filling a house, & all the soup!”

“I like The Old House on South Sixteenth Street. It shows great human values such as love, loyalty, compassion, and support of other people and different solutions to problems. I love Lionel in all moments he is helping others. He has a big heart. Ms. Kitty was always loyal in spite of being rude and impolite. I like Anita’s attitude. Although she has a many problems, she is always singing and smiling in her store. I dislike Naeem. He isn’t a good son, and he doesn’t help his Mom and Pop.”
