Such a fun day at the 10th annual Chesapeake Bay book festival! Signed books and chatted with some great authors and readers! Favorite part was the notes that kids left on my kindness wall (tablecloth)!

I can't believe the school year is coming to a close soon. It's time to book author visits for the 2025-2026 school year. I'm available for virtual and in-person visits ages Pre-K3 through grade 12! I love speaking with students and tailor my workshops to the needs of your classrooms.
