A Valuable Story for Any Age
As an adult, I enjoyed the art, design, and story in this book, so did the children I shared it with. Some could read it on their own, and some needed me to read it to them. They all understood the value of friends and helping others that this lovely story reinforces.

Engaging Picture Book
This is a very sweet story about the support that friendship provides. It approaches social emotional wellness in a way that is easily accessible for children. It has lovely illustrations and engaging content. As a teacher, myself, I think that it would be a useful tool in a classroom or at home to help a child talk about their own emotions.

Book has a powerful message
My 5-year old nephew loved this book and continues to request it for bedtime reading. The lesson about getting unstuck is applicable for all ages.

The best book for anyone feeling stuck <3
When I first ordered “I am Stuck” I got it just because I wanted to support my friend, however I had no idea how much this cute little children’s book would help me today. I just read through it and cried happy tears. Currently I am feeling a little stuck with everything going on, but I also feel such an outpouring of love and light from my friends. Everyone is here for us and helping us by listening and texting and sending beautiful things. This book shows just that. That your friends are always there for you when you are stuck. @jmillspaints this book is so amazing and incredible and beautiful! I love and appreciate you and am so happy you wrote this cute little children’s book <3 everyone go check out “I am stuck” by Julia Mills on Amazon ❤️❤️❤️

This is a beautiful book with a simple but engaging story about getting stuck and what can help. The illustrations are lovely, and the text is clear for pre- and early readers to follow along. It’s a really lovely message and is my new go-to gift for little ones.

An adorable book. The illustrations are lovely and the message is fantastic. I read it to my year 1 class and we had a lovely conversation about feeling stuck and what we can do when we are.

The artwork and story are perfect for kids (and adults too). The sweet characters remind you that it’s ok to feel stuck and that you can move past it. I can’t wait for the author’s next book.
