Presentations, Readings, Book Signings
& Author Chats
Besides the memories of reading to my own children, few things give me more joy than reading my books to others. Everyone enjoys a read aloud! I've learned that it's not just young children who enjoy being read to, but older kids and grownups enjoy it too! That's awesome!
​
My education and work experience includes many years of learning how to best serve children and their families. Sharing my joy of reading and learning with children is what makes me happy! Being a children's author who focuses on vocabulary, reading comprehension, social-emotional learning, diversity, and inclusion, helps me fulfill my passion for educating and inspiring young people.
​
I would LOVE to accept your invitation to visit your school, literacy organization, community organization, church, or other organization focused on literacy and serving the needs of children. Your visit will be customized according to your school's or group's interests and needs.
​
SCHOOLS: It's more than just a "Read Aloud."
Reading, activities, games, and worksheets too!
"ALL children"
I come prepared! I want my visit to be an enjoyable time for the students and their teachers. It's more than just story time! After reading my book, I'll have an activity to share for students to enjoy. Schools may also choose a presentation highlighting important themes of diversity, inclusion, purpose, and careers (Why Am I Here?) or writing, teacher student relationship, setting goals, believing in oneself, overcoming fears, and support of family, friends, teachers, and community (Johari The Great).
My Teacher Resource packages containing grade-appropriate worksheets, spelling/vocabulary lists, lesson plans and activities are available to assist teachers in easily incorporating the books into their learning goals (complimentary with bulk orders). If your schedule permits, I also allow time for an Author Chat and Question & Answer period.
