"Before coming to the Feeding America national office, I worked at
the Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma in Oklahoma City, and we kept a
copy of Maddie’s Fridge in our lobby! I recommend it to many
supporters with children—especially those too young to volunteer.
What an incredible resource for shining a light on childhood hunger
and an apt tool for teaching empathy to young children. Thank you
so much for using your wonderful talents to help raise awareness
for and end childhood hunger.” —Jacklyn Chaney, Development
Manager, Feeding America
"In her debut picture book, Brandt addresses an important issue:
childhood hunger...Vogel’s digital illustrations portraying the
smiling, wide-eyed girls in their city neighborhood are filled with
warmth and a sense of community. An endnote provides suggestions
for helping friends who have empty refrigerators and directs young
readers to a companion website, MaddisFridge.com." —School Library
Journal
"Maddi’s Fridge will inspire conversations about honesty,
sensitivity, empathy and helping others."—Kirkwood Times
