VICKI PSARIAS, #HonestMum, UK
“The perfect gift for me. After a rather dreadful year this wonderful book is full of insight and optimism. My “go to” guidebook for the year ahead.”
LASZLO SZABO, Toronto
"The work is a Poetical arrangement of Visual Poems that inspire hope and encouragement. The words and images land in the heart and take you on a journey of wonder and inspiration."
JANICE ORLANDI - New York City
"I am Your Friend - A Book of Hope, is just that. A loyal companion to accompany you on a daily basis filled with wise advice and spiritual insights to uplift the soul in times of need, a beautifully illustrated and uniquely hand written script connects you to the author in some way as though it is written just for you. If I had to choose one best amigo this year, this book would be top of my list!"
KP, Mallorca, Spain
"I Am Your Friend is a book I cannot recommend highly enough"
KATE, Founder of Kate on Thin Ice
"I just love the title of this unique book it tells everything about it... I am Your Friend - a Book of Hope tells it’s readers to be open optimistic and trust oneself that at the end of the tunnel the light is shining!
From the Tao to Tagore's Gitanjali it covers story telling that transcend the universe with the written word and symbols...
Billie Bacal takes us into her journey as it happens through her recovery with hope and positivity to show us never to lose hope and self believe! Once you hold I am your Friend- a Book of Hope you won’t put it down till you finish it! That’s what happened to me!!"
AVI NASSA, Tel Aviv
"I met Billie in a very demanding period of her life. And I had the oportunity to be an ear, a shoulder, a friend.
I met Billie's book in a very demanding period of my life. The depth and simplicity of the message the book carries is just overwhelming. I find it inspiring, visionary. And every time I open it it reminds me of that something undescribable and sacred within me. For what I need and want to fight untill my last breath. And for that, dear Billie, I thank you"

"‘I am Your Friend’ is such a darling little gem of a book, written with great authenticity and desire to help others... do not leave home without it! The illustrations are fresh and straight from the heart, this book teaches us all how to live with one’s face turned to the light - even in the darkest of moments. Connecting all human life in one great big warm hearted yet philosophical hug it’s the perfect gift for a friend, loved one or just someone you know who might be sad and facing difficulties.... let it light up your life"
SOPHIE HARLEY, London
"I love your book, it’s a lesson of life, hope and compassion. Those last years, after going through cancer and the loss of many beloved people I very often asked myself how to deal with fear, deep sadness and despair. The answers that you give in your book speak to me. A thousand thanks for this beautiful gift.
JOSEE, Geneva
"The images and message of this small but powerful book are wonderful. The movement, emotion and authenticity captured in the authors drawings jump right off the paper - you could open the book on any page and it'll speak to you. I was given the book as a gift and it has become part of my staple wind down routine - I nosey a couple of pages to ground myself before hitting the hay and it always leaves me feeling uplifted and hopeful. A fab and very pretty visual guide to embracing and accepting difficult feelings and shifting your perspective. Lovely!"
AMEE, Gibraltar
"This is a beautiful, heartfelt poetic book. The combination of images and a few words get inside you in a way words alone cannot. Whatever struggle you may be going through every page will inspire you to choose light over dark, hope over despair. A true "friend" when you are in need of a kind word, a helping hand to inspire you to keep going with no judgement. This is a gem of a book I will treasure and as it can fit in a pocket I can carry it with me all the time. I will be buying this for friends in need"
CAROLYN, London
"Billie’s book is daily reminder that life can be a struggle, but is entirely up to us to decide how to deal with difficulties. I love waking up in the morning, and just opening the book on a random page and read the message in it. It has changed me as a person, and consequently everyone around me.
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do"
INES ROMANELLI - São Paulo, Brazil
"I had tears in my eyes, but with smiling on my face while I was reading this book, for the people who had the toughest time in their life, and trying so hard to work through it with gratitude every single day. I cried, I smiled and I feel life is so beautiful even its sometimes so tough. Thank you for this beautiful book."

"I read about your book in a Prima magazine whilst sitting in the hairdressers with my hair covered in foils! I took a note of the title on my phone, and ordered it that very evening. My lovely parcel popped through the door yesterday, and when I began to read the pages absolutely filled with golden treasure, I discovered to my joy, that they were the very things I too have been learning, plus more. For me, it is amazing, timely and literally heaven sent. After going through a tough time, I sometimes have low mood and fatigue. On the good days the world is sunny and gorgeous, but on the low days, I seem to forget all the helpful things that I need to remember! I had often thought of writing down ‘in the Light’ all the things I needed to remember on those more cloudy moments...but now, gloriously, I have found that you have done it for me. Now, on those down days, I can sit with my ‘Friend’ and a nice cuppa, and remember the real picture. It is JUST what I needed! So, I wanted to say thank you from the bottom of my heart, and to tell you that I am cheering you on - you have done something truly wonderful here. Hope is just what we all need, and you have given us a lovely, big, golden spoonful of it"
