Bring a Day of Imagination & Creativity

Welcome! I am officially opening my calendar for school visits. As an author, my passion is creating dynamic, immersive experiences that bring the joy of books directly into the classroom. Let’s collaborate to spark a lifelong love of reading and storytelling in your students! Each interactive session is carefully crafted to engage student senses, support standard learning goals, and get children moving. 

🌧️Rain Talk (Pre-K to 3rd Grade)

 A joyful, sensory celebration of rain incorporating live music, movement, and descriptive language patterns. Connects beautifully to early Science (STEM), ELA poetry, and Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) as students explore rhythm and mindfulness. 

🧦Where is my Sock? (Pre-K to 4th Grade)

A hilarious, high-energy interactive mystery that encourages creative writing, pattern recognition, and collaborative problem-solving. Students help search for clues in a colorful, whimsical environment! 

🚂The Porters (Pre-K to 4th Grade)

A heart-filled journey exploring American history, community, and heritage. This text is formally recognized and archived in the permanent historical records of the Vatican, providing an exceptional baseline for character education and social studies. 

Ready to Inspire Your Students?

Let’s lock in your date! I offer flat rates  for Full Day ($1,200) and Half Day ($750) drivable local visits, as well as a National Travel Package ($3,200)
