"At a time when children's imaginations are usurped by fast media on multiple devices, books may seem a message in a bottle from another world and another time. But they are perhaps one of the healthiest forms of information for children and especially when those books carry a message, helping a child to understand right and wrong, kindness, self-acceptance, dignity. Chocolate Sauce provides a line of children's books based on ancient and modern wisdom teachings that open a child's mind to wonder and the greater good and uses contemporary examples to do so."

"The most important thing any of us can do to help a child is to help her have the courage to be true to her deepest self. Spirituality at its core – whatever the path or school – is about helping us to discover our true identity. Therefore spiritual guidance is the single most important gift we can give our children. I commend Shelley and her contribution with Chocolate Sauce."
