I am delighted to share with you the first advance reviews for my upcoming book.

Big thanks to Antoinette Dickson and Janine Beattie for taking the time to write them.

Review #1

It is often in the simple things of life that we find little details which confound and astound us. An expectation erupts into something we had not previously considered possible, and we begin to consider the possibilities which lie ahead. This was my reaction to "Life's Little Things/Les Petites Choses de la Vie" by Cendrine Marrouat. I expected a coffee table with beautiful photos. What I found, from the first page onward, was an unexpected venture into every day life in an extraordinary way. The attention to details was superb. Cendrine's lens allows her reader an intimate glance into the lives of others by focusing on the "little things" that seem to get lost in the busyness of daily living. There is an inviting warmth that flows from image to image, transporting you into the photo and prompting you to take the journey with her. The intermingling of high contrast, full color photographs with those in black and white serves to heighten the viewing experience. Expectations are serendipitously shattered, but you are so drawn in that you do not mind it at all. One of my most favorite discoveries occurs within the first couple of pages. Before receiving my review copy, I was not aware Life's Little Things was orchestrated to be bilingual, English and French. I absolutely love the idea! By the time I reached the end of the book, I found myself wishing for a children's version as well. "Life's Little Things/Les Petites Choses de la Vie" is already a beautifully photographed and organized coffee table book, it would make a wonderful teaching tool as well. Whether your interest is photography, world travel, or the arts in general, "Life's Little Things/Les Petites Choses de la Vie" by Cendrine Marrouat would make a perfect addition to your library. - Antoinette Dickson, The Innovative Pen
