MY PRESENTATION
My school visit presentation is based on the theme of my most recent book. My slideshow both excites and educates, inspiring the children to create their own art and stories. Through my presentation, "The Story Behind the Story", I show how a book is developed from concept to finished book. I tell them what sparked the idea behind each book.  I share my storyboards, sketches and paintings. For kindergarten through grade 2, I make a drawing for the school to keep. My presentation ends with a question-answer period.

I do a maximum of three sessions a day which run about 50 minutes each. During free time, before or after sessions, I would be happy to sign books.
