An Author visit to an elementary school
Ever wonder
what it is like to write and illustrate for children? Here is an opportunity to
hear from someone who does both. I have spoken to a variety of audience sizes
and age groups and will customize a presentation to meet your specific needs.
Here is a description of my most popular program for schools.

Cooking up a Story explores the wonderful process
of developing a story through illustration. The audience actively
participates in creating their own story as I sketch out their ideas. Story
structure and characterization is explored right along with the creative
process.

involved in publishing a children’s book. Your illustrations are
wonderful!" school teacher

I feel that your presentation was most valuable in encouraging our young
authors and artists" school

"Your presentation was great! Very useful and with a
different perspective. It's nice hearing from the real world....(Your

understanding happen." school
