"Itches Inside My Head is tantalizingly illustrated, the words are beguiling, and the humor is guaranteed to make you grin.
In the midst of the giggling, there are poems that touch on childhood insecurities so subtly that readers will identify immediately.
Mazie’s expertise in the fields of social work and mental health is evident and put to good use in this entertaining compilation."
