Reviews

The text in Cato's Can Can is succinct and beautifully engaging and is perfectly complemented by the stunning and lively illustrations. The book is also clever, in that we are introduced to a variety of dance genres by the adorable Cato, who spots a new group of dancers and dance styles every day of the week.
There is also an underlying message of taking a leap of faith and plucking up the courage to give things a go.

Cato's Can Can is a bright, happy story about a little dancing cockatoo who finds his crew! The story speaks to anyone who has a dream to follow but who is not quite sure how to get there. Charming illustrations top off the story and make this book a have to have -it's our go-to gift now for friends with young kids!

  • "As a fellow writer, I can see the passion in Juliet's work. She has a style that is second to none, and is able to engage the reader on an emotional level. Thanks for the great read!"

    Daniel Chidiac Australian author

  • "I have been working with Juliet M. Sampson in my role as literary publicist for some time and am inspired by her dedication and passion for her craft. Juliet takes on board all the advice she is given using it to grow from strength to strength with each novel. It is with no doubt that Juliet has a future ahead of her that is going to see her bring her dreams come true.

    I look forward to travel with Juliet as she touches hearts through her words
    "

    Jennifer Douglas Literary Publicist

  • "Juliet M. Sampson is an author I hold in high regard as she’s very passionate about the book industry, reading and she doesn’t let the trials in her life get her down, in fact, they are inspirations to great reads she has published. I have read both her books. Behind the Mask is very well written and kept me on the edge of my seat. Bon Voyage! is a feel good story about travel."

  • "Juliet's style is compelling, and her subject matter poignant. She is a gifted author, and her passion for writing is obvious in her work. I can't wait for her next book."

    Dr. Stephen Parnis Melbourne Emergency Physician

  • "I have enjoyed both of Juliet’s books. Juliet had a dream about becoming an author, which has now been realised. The best part about this is we have benefited by her novels. Anything that can help spread the message about the horror of abuse and domestic violence is important and Juliet has done this with sensitivity and understanding."
