Author Visits

Thank you for your interest in having me visit your school! Below is some information on what my presentations include, however, I can easily customize my presentation to fit the needs of you and your students. Feel free to reach out with specific requests! 

Email me here to schedule a date or submit the form below

I cannot wait to meet you and your students. Connecting with kids and talking about the children’s book writing, editing and publishing process, as well as the themes of my books – self-esteem, acceptance of self and others, learning to speak up one for oneself, etc. – is my most favorite part of being a children’s book author!

What to expect?

A highly visual PowerPoint slideshow geared towards K-3 or 4-6th graders in which I discuss the process from initial story idea to publication, read The Only Me or Stella’s Brave Voice, and talk about the lessons my books teach.

I will bring stickers, bookmarks, and an activity for teachers to do with their students. In addition, I will donate a signed copy of both books to your school library.

Stella’s tired of being compared to Paige. They may be twins, but that doesn’t make them the same person. The problem is, with so many people comparing them, Stella can’t help but wonder if maybe she doesn’t add up to her talented sis.

Can Stella find a way to accept that she and Paige can each be their own, special and unique people, and still be twins?

“An engaging celebration of self-love from the perspective of a twin…”
—Kirkus Reviews

Twin sisters, Stella and Paige are different in a lot of ways – especially when it comes to how much they like to talk. Paige is super chatty and outgoing, while Stella’s a bit more timid and soft-spoken. The truth is, Paige often speaks FOR Stella.

Stella’s always been okay with being the quiet one . . . until now. Suddenly, Stella has something to say. But can she find a way to make her own voice heard over Paige’s? And will learning to use her own brave voice hurt Paige’s feelings—and their special relationship?

“Stella’s Brave Voice may empower other kids to find theirs, too…”
—Kirkus Reviews
