Your presentation was met with such enthusiasm by students and teachers alike…our principal was especially excited to see the children’s response to your visit and how nicely it fit into our yearlong objective of writer's workshop. Thank you, again, for enriching our K-2 students and demonstrating the art of creating a book from start to finish. They also got a glimpse of what an author/illustrator does as a profession!

The writing workshops were an extremely useful exercise for the children. They were able to create their own story with your guidance…and the best part was they had fun without realizing they were actually learning.. I received much positive feedback from the teachers. They were thrilled to see their students caught up in a creative writing assignment. One teacher said she has many ideas on how to incorporate this into her own lessons!

Ms. Kelly's presentation to my class was wonderful. She has a real knack for tapping into the creative juices of students and bringing out the best in them. They were fascinated by the process that she goes through to write and illustrate her books, and they did their best to emulate her process as they wrote their own dog stories.
