“Billy was a teenager when I first  met her and in many ways behaved like a teenager—testing her parents.  She is truly fascinating and an emotionally rewarding part of the Chimfunshi household.”

“Billy shows us that friends come in all shapes and sizes.”
KEVIN JOHNSON - Mayor of Sacramento, former NBA All-Star

“A charming true story of Billy, a female hippopotamus found abandoned that Sheila raised on her farm in Africa.  Wonderful children's book that can help introduce kids to African animals as well as endearing them to animal kingdom and African environment.  It is a must read for the little guys!”
CHUCK LEAVELL - Environmentalist, Author, Keyboardist with the Rolling Stones

“A love story with a positive message for children and all of humanity.  I loved it!”
