"My son, who is nearly 10, thought you were amazing and wants to be just like you when he grows up. So there you go, not only do you have a fan, you are now officially a role model :-) Thank you!"
Tara Diamond, Weston All Saints Primary School, Bath, England
“Students thoroughly enjoyed the introductory assembly, in case you could not tell by all the laughter, as well as the small workshops. The students walked away from the workshops inspired and excited, which is always the sign of a great lesson.”
Catherine F. Porterfield, The International Academy, Amman, Jordan.
“The students are still talking about it and we all went to work to develop interesting characters and settings in order to publish some interesting stories.! I personally noticed an improvement in several students’ writing due to the details they included. This they remembered from you and I thank you.”
Mimi Attia, Le Rosey, Rolle, Switzerland
