Wondering where I’ve been before? Here’s a list of many of the school visits, young authors conferences, storytimes, and other events for kids that I’ve done. I mostly visit elementary schools, though I’m also a former 8th-grade English teacher, so I can work with teen writers, too. And I’m happy to do preschool storytimes as well, getting young children excited about books, rhymes, clapping, and repetition.
