My author visits blend storytelling, curriculum-aligned activities, and hands-on exploration to inspire students and support teachers. By combining literacy, outdoor learning, and nature-based experiences, I help teachers feel more confident taking learning outside, while giving students opportunities to be curious and engaged. Each visit also shares insights into the publishing process, connecting students to the story behind the book and fostering a deeper connection to the natural world. These visits support district initiatives and early learning programs, making them a meaningful addition to your school’s literacy and outdoor learning goals.
