PRAISE FOR "QUADZILLA FINDS HIS FOOTING"
"Even though Quadzilla is a book about monsters, it teaches us what it means to be human. Yes, we all have imperfections, but if we embrace them, joy will be revealed. It's a great life lesson for kids and adults alike."
-Charlie Berens; comedian, journalist, and creator of "Manitowoc Minute"
"Quadzilla Finds His Footing is a reminder that we all have different abilities and it's important to have friends that help us find our strengths. I can't wait to share these life lessons with my boys."
-Randall Cobb, professional football player in the National Football League
"The message was so sweet. Everyone has things they're good at; it just takes some people a little longer than others to find what those things are. Good friends can help you figure it out."
-Kurt Benkert, professional football player in the National Football League
"A great story about a big-legged dinosaur named Quadzilla who discovers his love for football. My son, Beaux, loves the illustrations!"
-Tyler Beede, professional baseball player in Major League Baseball
"AJ Dillon's Quadzilla Finds His Footing isn't merely a book about football, nor is it just for kids. Quadzilla is a book that teaches us why it's okay to be different. In fact, it teaches us why we should celebrate our differences. My eight-year-old daughter, Wren, was recently diagnosed with dyslexia. She connected to Quadzilla - and all the other monsters - in a way that she hasn't with other characters in books or even movies. I can't wait for more children to learn about this wonderful book and know they're not alone, in what often seems like a world that's too big or too busy to care about their differences."
-Jordan Schultz, sports analyst
