“”Director Johnna Wright makes the many elements fit together perfectly”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“In perfect contrast to the very female, very spirited March house is the home next door where the terminally wistful Laurie (Victor Dolhai) gazes through the window…”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“Though it’s set in the 1800s, there’s no sense that you’re seeing a museum piece.”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix

“Perfectly suited to delight families big and little”  Saskatoon Star-Phoenix
