★★★★1/2 (4.8) - "With IMPATIENT PATIENCE, author Michael A Brown and illustrator Lovyaa Garg have added another entry to their What I Tell Myself books--in this case a beautifully drawn, thoughtfully written tale about a little girl named Patience who is anything but, and the invaluable lesson she learns--in what is shaping up to be an enduring contemporary Children's Literature series." - IndieReader

★★★★★ - "Impatient Patience easily conveys a singular but important lesson to children in elementary school with cute imagery throughout. Talking to children about patience can often be abstract, but author Michael A. Brown gives parents and teachers a fantastic tool to teach children that sometimes slowing down can be a great thing in this fast paced world." - Literary Titan

★★★★★ - "Discover the virtue of patience in the inspiring picture book, Impatient Patience (What I Tell Myself) by Michael A. Brown. The beautifully drawn illustrations are colorful and engaging and add a touch of enchantment to a delightful story. The author does an excellent job teaching a valuable lesson while keeping the story amusing and younger readers involved in the plot. The underlying message is a gentle reminder to both adults and children to slow down, relax, and allow things to come in their own timing, instead of always trying to rush everything. I recommend this delightfully charming book to children ages three to six years old." - Susan Sewell for Readers' Favorite
