"This book is perfect for children - both the young ones
and the ones my age! Beads on One String will help us
realize how much we have in common with each other.
It will bring us all closer together. This is a GREAT project!"
- Charmi Schroeder (Motivational Speaker / Author)

"Dennis’ voice is so strong and confident, the message so clear
and satisfying, you want to embrace it and sing it with affirmation!
Yes, yes, yes! This book transends everything, all the clutter in the world,
and it exposes a universal message: LOVE ONE ANOTHER."
- Sue Randleman (Director, North Logan Library, North Logan, Utah)

"The illustrations for Beads on One String
create a beautiful image for the song, which lyrically
illuminates the connections between all people.
We’ll be singing it here at the Center."
Carolyn Bninski
(Director, Rocky Mountain Peace and Justice Center, Boulder, Colorado)

"This song celebrates what children already know instinctively--that
we are all one and each beautiful. Just as the different beads make up the
beautiful necklace, so do individuals make up a classroom, school, and world. This book and song is a reminder for all of us to be the bead that makes the necklace shine even brighter. It will be a great discussion starter in classrooms and families alike. It is a positive reminder for us to see the commonalities among our differences and to celebrate both."
Diane Moeller (Principal, Kennedy Elementary School, St. Joseph, Minnesota)

"A thoughtful and creative way to illustrate how individuals, though different, are connected with a common thread, like Beads on One String."
Shahzad Ahmad (Director, Multicultural Student Services St. Cloud State University)
