School Visits
I’m currently scheduling school visits for the 2025-2026 school year. I travel from Oxford County, Maine.
I love getting the opportunity to connect with kids and share my love of drawing and writing! It’s important for kids to see that books take patience and persistence. They’ll get to see all the revisions and messy sketches that happen in order to make the final book.
School visits are tailored for each grade level and are best suited for K-3 and can be assembly style or smaller groups. During my presentation I’ll share about how I became an author/illustrator, artwork from my childhood, and a look inside my studio where I make my books.
Each talk will focus on one of my books and we’ll do a story time, followed by a slideshow where I share process images from rough sketches to final book. We’ll wrap up with a drawing demo and Q&A.
Book Selection: A Family for Louie, Ben & Emma’s Big Hit, The Little Red Chair, and I am a Masterpiece! Read more about each book here.
