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

What Makes My Author Visit Special?

As an author and illustrator, I offer engaging, curriculum-aligned visits designed to:

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.
