School Visit Details

FREE Mini Virtual Visit

Let's do a virtual storytime or Q&A! Teachers who are already using my book in the classroom are eligible for a free 15-minute Storytime where I read aloud to the students and then we have a 5 minute Q&A session about one of my books. This can be conducted in English, Spanish, or both.

I love talking to aspiring authors and illustrators!

I’m available to present on various topics:
