TESTIMONIALS
"You are a terrific presenter! It was such a treat to have you here. You have such a wonderful way of relating to the children and sharing your love of reading and writing with them.
"You shared so many helpful tips and hints about the writing process with them in such a fun way. Thank you! The kids loved hearing about your 'Stinky Story Drawer.' They also liked hearing how sometimes the author and the illustrator have very different ideas about the illustrations and the illustrations don't always turn out like you're imagining.
"Thank you for sharing with them the rewriting process that you undergo when you are writing your books. It is especially helpful for kids to see that in order for their writing to be their very best, it takes a lot of patience and hard work."

"You did a superior job of presenting to our entire student body. Each session was brilliant and filled with so much meaning and information. I do not know how you do it. Thanks for making this a memorable event for our students here at Neil Armstrong. You should consider training others in the 'how-to' of presenting."
