"Dear Miri Leshem-Pelly,

I want to tell you how 100% pleased and appreciative I have been with the work you have done for Milk and Honey Press.
We have a number of illustrators that we have considered for the forthcoming book. However, having appreciated so much all aspects of your work, you were our clear first choice.

I have been especially delighted with your remarkable ability to capture emotions in your pictures. Thanks once again so much for the lovely and in all ways very professional work you have contributed to Milk and Honey’s publications."
