Review

"Believe in Yourself  bursts with colour -- the colour of a young child's paintings, but also the colour of life, the colour of hope, the colour of freedom.  And in a world increasingly defined by black and white distinctions, by borders that supposedly divide "us" and "them," goodness knows we need more colour.  With Trisha's rainbow hues and her beautiful words as our imaginative guides, children and adults alike can do what the animals in her story do -- step across borders of the imagination and the heart.  Does an elephant know a border?  Does a dog discriminate on the basis of religion and culture?"- Jonathan Gil HarrisAuthor of 'The First Firangis'
"Trisha and her lovely book 'Believe in Yourself' touched not only children' hearts but also adults like us. She reminded us not to lose hope forthe future, to stay strong when faced with difficulties and to remember the importance of family and friends in our lives. With her book, Trisha takeschildren on a journey where they find hope, motivation and inspiration."

Now here is a finely textured book. The text is gently inspirational, The words flow from the heart. The illustrations hold on to your attention and the design lifts and brings it all together. Incredible that it is from a writer-illustrator who is so very young. But it is obvious that she has a big heart.well done Trisha, looking forward to your next- Paro AnandAuthor of 'No Guns At My Son's Funeral'"Do not rush through this gentle book. Stop wherever you want to admire the mental vistas that the words and pictures conjure up, before moving on. I hope the children who read it will find within its pages the joy, friendship and courage that Trisha offers to help them along life's journey."
