The art and paper used is beautiful, I enjoy sending these out and everyone loves them
inviting me with her delightful, colorful being (drawn by author Tracy Mazuer) and important message inside to write or doodle or do what I may to capture my feelings, thoughts, memories, ideas... who knows, inspirations for the new day. It's a beautiful, inviting journal... and reminds me that my mother always told us to write. Reading old journals now, I smile and say, 'You were right.'
Keep her near. I always will, actually on my nightstand, starting and ending each day with a dose of her kindness and courage, her beauty and wonder, and her fierce determination to transform doom and darkness to love and light... to never despair, be true, you can and must do. "Her" is/are both Ravina and author Tracy Mazuer, who magically draws me- and I am sure so many others- into the fantastic imaginary-real world of Ravina the All Wrong Raven, taking me on an odyssey that stirs very big emotion and breeds colorful compassion, making all of us a part of precious Ravina's journey and ultimate hearty triumph. Whimsical and serious, foreboding and funny, brilliantly written by Tracy and illustrated by Dave Lowe... as if Ravina was there all along guiding the way- though it was surely not so easy- this book and story and experience will sing and speak and flutter and fly and come alive for all readers, young and old alike... and I am sure, will challenge, empower, and change lives. I can't wait for the world to meet Ravina who is All Right.... and who was born in the depths of Tracy's extraordinary heart and soul.
The book, the cards, and most of all the two of you fill out hearts! I feel honored and blessed to have you, your creativity, and most of all your Passion for truth, peace, and kindness. We will be friends forever? Wilma & Gus Gold
This is such a beautiful, heartwarming book. I read it aloud to my 12-year-old granddaughter, and we both loved the story--not only the words themselves, but also the almost hypnotic beauty of their cadence. I've been a fan of Tracy's art (and of Ravina) for quite some time and didn't know what to expect of this story. But Tracy brought Ravina to life on the page in such a playful and heartfelt way. I'm in awe of her gift and skill of writing and couldn't love this book more. The illustrations, too, are lovely and capture the essence of Ravina's journey. I also really enjoyed the information at the back of the book (the "Easter eggs," Poe's famous poem, and the blank pages for doodling!). It shows how much thought and love went into this book. I highly recommend "Ravina the All Wrong Raven" for anyone who values beautiful writing wrapped with child-like wonder. It's an amazing combination that gives my heart joy and makes my soul happy.
Hi Linda! Thank you so much for your incredibly thoughtful review! I'm so happy you love Ravina! ❤️

Great message that different is just different, not wrong and we can all learn to give people back their hearts. should be required reading for all of us.
Thank you, Marianne! Required reading sounds good to me! And, yes, we all must hold on to our hearts. Especially during times like these❤️
This book is perfect for anyone needing a reminder we are all unique and loved. It doesn't take long to read, which is great for me and increases the chances that I will revisit it repeatedly. Nice job!
Hi Erica! We ARE all unique and loved! Thank you for your kind review. I'm glad you'll be rereading, Ravina. I bet you'll find more the deeper you go. With love, Tracy
I loved reading this aloud to my grandchildren. It is a beautiful story and the illustrations are so wonderful.
Hi, Sara! How awesome that you had a chance to read the book aloud, and I'm thrilled you all enjoyed it! Love, Tracy
We loved the book and the message it conveys. The illustrations are so good and we think Ravina is absolutely adorable in her rainbow colors. We gave a copy to our 10 year old granddaughter and she is reading it with her mom. Thank you Tracy for sharing your love of stories.
Hi Geraldine! Yay! I hope we get a ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ from your granddaughter! Fingers crossed! Love, Tracy
This is a beautifully written and illustrated story for all ages. Its a message of love, kindness and courage. When channeled positively, one animal (or person) can spark change. Keep writing & spreading the love Tracy!
Hi Trisha, thanks for the love! I'm so happy you enjoyed Ravina. Let's go spark some change!❤️ Love, Tracy
I am not sure how I even want to begin this review. This book is SO perfect for any age. I bought it for myself, but will definitely buy more copies for the adults and kids in my life. The story is so uplifting and sweet. I love the messages around encouraging people to be themselves and let their brightness and fierceness shine. I love that it rhymes, and the illustration is beautiful as well. Tracy did an amazing job pulling the whole story together, while also weaving in some literary references! I loved that she put a literary reference guide at the end of the book to tie it all together. Such a sweet book - absolutely worth the buy!
Hi Frannie! I'm so happy you enjoyed it! I was sitting in your coffee shop working on revisions only a short time ago! And here she is! Thanks for taking the time to write such a thoughtful review. I send you my love, Tracy
Hi Jane! I'm so happy you found the perfect gift of a tree! Hope to see you again soon. ❤️ love, Tracy
I love my tea towel! Every item I have ordered through Trees Have Feelings has been outstanding. They are perfect gifts and always receive rave reviews. What a wonderful company!
Hi Leslie! You're the perfect customer AND the perfect sales force for the Trees and Ravina! Thank you for spreading the word and for being such a dear friend. ❤️ We love you, T&J
I bought 2 pkgs of these note cards, one for me and one as a gift for a friend. She loves the cards and the tree’s sweet messages and artwork.
I appreciate you taking the time to post a kind review! ❤️ Love, Tracy
I love this shirt! The pink bird, with her crown is so cute, and the shirt is incredibly soft.
Thank you for the awesome review! They're so soft, and I'm happy you enjoy yours! ❤️ With love, Tracy
Hi Julie, thank you for the kind review. I'm grateful you found something unique in us! ❤️ Love, Tracy
No YOU create happiness, Ms Gilroy! Thanks for being an awesome human! We adore you. Love, T+J❤️
This is truly one of the softest sweatshirts I have ever worn. Perfect addition to my Christmas wardrobe.
Hi Cathi! Thanks for the awesome review! I never know how to describe the level of softness, so thanks for helping! Love, Tracy ❤️
I bought a JASPER vinyl sticker for myself because it's beautiful. I love the bird, the crown, the musical notes, and the colors. I ended up using this sticker to decorate a gift bag for a friend, and my friend also loves the sticker. All of Tracy's drawings are beautiful, it's hard to limit myself to just a few stickers!
