"It is impossible not to praise this book without praising the author and all of her achievements, because this book is an illustrated journey of Jody Mills' creative life, what she has learned, and what she gives us as her legacy. 'Honing Your Skills to Perfection' is a wonderful gift, not only to her children but to anyone who is interested in creating a life that is a multifaceted work of art. As her daughter, I can say with all my heart, that I feel forever blessed to have had such a loving, wise, and creative woman for my mother." - Lauren Mills, author/illustrator of "The Rag Coat"
