AUTHOR VISITS
Having an author visit your school is a great way to get kids excited about reading and is an incredible opportunity to connect young readers with the person and process behind the books. Great for: Schools, Churches, Daycares, Libraries, and various community events (In person or virtual)
​
Representation Matters in both the books young leaders read, and the images of the storytellers who write them. When children see themselves in the ordinary and extraordinary, they realize that anything is possible.
