I am excited for school visits!
I am currently setting up school visits for elementary- middle grade age children. As both an author and illustrator, I can gear my visit towards writing, illustrating or both.
I love to write stories about animals and nature. Most of my writing is inspired by my lived experiences. Having children read my stories and look at my illustrations is so much fun and I am looking forward to inspiring a new generation of readers, writers and artists. Also, I LOVE schools and educators! I was once an elementary school secretary in a school of 1200 students.
My program can include:
- Reading ofLinden,The Story of a Tree and/or Brave Old Blue
- A talk about using real life events to create your own story.
- General discussion on how picture books are created.
- A talk about how and why nature is important-using Linden as reference or talk about horses, horse rescues, horse care, why animals are important members of our family.
- A demonstration on creating your own picture book- where students can create a picture book of their own, after my visit.
- Drawing demonstration.
- How to illustrate a picture book - process from sketches to final art.
- Q&A
I prefer single classrooms, but I am able to do larger groups (under 100). My fee includes 3-4 presentations per visit or 1 large group. Please contact me for fee information.
