Teachers & Librarians
Hello, my favorite people in the world. As a former Headstart teacher and a children's library associate, I know firsthand how hard you work to nurture and inspire children to become lifelong readers. Thank you so much for the creative, life-affirming work you do. I hope my books find a place in the hearts of your students! To arrange an in-person or virtual visit, please see below.

Arrange a Visit
I've visited schools and libraries across the country, and would love to visit yours. I offer fun, interactive presentations about my writing process, including where I find ideas and inspiration, my research, my many (many) revisions, and how I collaborate with illustrators. All presentations include a slide show, Q & A, and brainstorming activities. I also love to do writing workshops for smaller groups as well as literacy-based family programs. My goal is to encourage all students, not just future authors or illustrators, to believe in themselves and their ability to create.
I also do free virtual visits, up to twenty minutes, with groups familiar with my work.
To arrange a visit that's just right for you and your students, please contact me below: I would love to work with you!
