School programs can be geared around any of the author's books. Students can get excited about the ocean making Jazzy Jellies from Oceans, or imagine themselves standing on Neptune while creating Neptune's Moons from Leap Into Space, or they can listen to Pizza for the Queen and have a pizza party!
The author encourages children to "catch" their own story and discover the joys of writing.
Assemblies and/or classroom visits can be arranged. In addition, other programs include: Creating Story, Eco Action, or Funky Book Art.
It is meaningful for students to have the opportunity to read and purchase one or more of the author's books. The author will help arrange a sale with a local bookstore for the school. Autographing is always available.
