Author Visits
Bring stories to life with engaging, educational Author Visits designed especially for elementary schools, libraries, and other elementary-age focused groups!

During each visit, children enjoy an interactive read-aloud from a featured picture book, followed by hands-on activities that connect storytelling to real-world learning. Programs are thoughtfully designed to spark curiosity, encourage questions, and make learning fun. Author visits are perfect for classrooms, library programs, STEM days, literacy nights, and special events.

With a background as a Ph.D.-level biologist turned children’s author, each presentation blends literacy, science, and creativity, helping young audiences see how books and curiosity go hand in hand. Sessions are age-appropriate, high-energy, and adaptable for different group sizes and settings.
