I love to visit schools!
My interactive slide presentation will reveal the process of creating a picture book. The children will see the unusual tools and materials I use as well as my storyboards, sketches, and personal journals. They will also see several of my books that have been published in other languages. This 45 min. presentation has been designed to excite and educate, and includes handouts to color, as well as bookmarks for all the children. The presentation, which is adaptable for grades K-4th, ends with a question-answer period.
I look forward to the opportunity to visit your school.

Book Sales
Having books available for parents and children to purchase ahead of time,
adds to the excitement and anticipation of an author visit. I do not sell
my books personally, but most bookstores would be happy to host the
event for you and may even provide a discount. If your school would like
I would be happy to stay and sign books.

Parent /Teacher Presentation
The title of this 50 minute presentation is Nurturing Creativity. The focus
is on children's creativity, and how we unknowingly undermine it. We nurture
creativity in children not so they will become artists, but that they
will become creative problem solvers. Creative problem solving is a life
skill which transcends any field a child may pursue. You will learn how to create "safe places" for your children to grow artistically and creatively
as well as emotionally. This program is accompanied by a slide presentation
which entertains as well as educates, and ends with a question-answer period.
Fees
Starting at $1,200.00. Plus travel expenses.
Needs
• A space that will get dark
• A white screen for slide presentation
