Speaking Engagements and School Presentations:
My school visits, include reading one of my picture books to Preschool - 1st Grade classrooms. My readings inspire students to believe in themselves, and to believe in others. Kindness, compassion and acceptance are all a part of the stories that help them understand how to become better citizens of the world. The students are encouraged to ask many questions about writing, becoming an author and/or illustrator or simply sharing their thoughts.
