Looking for a positive and engaging guest speaker for your classroom, grade level, or even your entire school?

For younger audiences, I bring a full visual presentation to your school where I read my children’s book, When I Grow Up! and work with students to visualize all the different careers they can have when they are all grown up.

I explore the creative process and show how plain old words on a page become a magical illustrated story.

For older students, I customize my presentation to include the writing and ideation process from rhyming tools to storyboarding. We even discuss how to sketch/ color your work for editing.

I emphasize students’ ability to tell their own stories and to imagine their unlimited potential.

Please Note: I do not sell copies of my books during visits (I don’t like to have anyone feel left out. Over time, I have had parents ask if they could order signed copies of books after the visit and for that purpose, I have created an book order form to drop off a personally signed copy of my book delivered to the office for distribution to the child’s homeroom. I can write a message of your choice or a unique inscription by me (author’s choice). You can click the link to print a copy if you need: Click Here
