TESTIMONIALS
"Diane — It was our pleasure and privilege to have you come to our school. I have heard nothing but 'raves' about your presentations and how you geared them toward the particular age group. One teacher said she thought that it was the best author visit that Blue Ridge had ever had in over 15 years of having author visits! I also had kids stop me in the hallway and say they really liked the author! You made me look good! It was a win-win situation!"

"Diane is energetic, enthusiastic, and quite talented. She obviously loves children (she ate lunch with first-graders!) and they love her right back. She had the students telling jokes, answering riddles, interacting with her poems, and generally having a great time. She emphasizes the importance of 'writing what you know about' and the perseverance required to get a book published. She brings a kid-size Bus-a-Saurus, and we enjoyed taking pictures of the students 'riding' the bus."

"Your poetry rocks!"

"She's cheerful and upbeat and shares interesting information about the research she did to develop several of her published nonfiction magazine articles. The children loved her poetry recitations and her enthusiastic reading of her lively picture book Bus-A-Saurus Bop. She brought along enlargements of her poems, a puppet, and a stand-up Bus-A-Saurus backdrop. She stayed beyond the expected time and autographed books and was delightfully pleasant to work with. Her fees are reasonable as well. I recommend her if you are looking for an affordable author your students will enjoy."
