“Every child deserves the freedom to explore books that open their hearts, ideas that stretch their minds, and words that help them find their own voice!

Dear Teachers and librarians,
You are creating a world where young readers and writers feel inspired, valued, and empowered. Whether you are hosting an in-person event or a virtual visit, I would love to connect with your students for an engaging, interactive experience. I offer curriculum-friendly author visits designed to:
Discover the joy of stories through interactive readings and creative Q&A sessions
Embrace the writing process with real examples of drafts and revisions
Help students find their voice through age-appropriate activities
1. Inspire Young Readers & Writers
Share my creative journey from early drafts to finished books to demonstrate perseverance and the writing process.
Conduct interactive read-alouds combined with live illustration to bring stories to life.
Hold Q&A sessions where students can learn about the real work involved in publishing.
2. Foster Creativity & Confidence
Provide drawing demonstrations that make art accessible to all skill levels.
Engage students in hands-on storytelling activities to spark original ideas.
Encourage risk-taking by sharing my own imperfect sketches and revisions.
3. Reinforce Literacy & Learning
Connect books to students' own experiences through discussion prompts.
Demonstrate how reading fuels creativity and problem-solving.
Provide complimentary online educational resources featuring activity kits, along with engaging art and story writing tutorials.
