Author Visits & Appearances
I love sharing my books with children! I talk about my writing and storytelling journey, and love to answer their thoughtful and surprising questions about writing, bookmaking, and everything in between.
I offer both in-person and virtual visits. Virtual visits are hosted on your school's platform (Zoom, Google Classroom, or another platform).
If you’d like to receive occasional FREE story time visits, including on World Read Aloud Day and at other times during the school year, sign up for my newsletter here and let me know you’re interested.
Contact me here for info, custom presentations, or to schedule a visit!
