I dedicate a generous amount of time and resources into creating and delivering each presentation. As an author, I’ve done my best to keep my rates affordable for libraries, daycare centers, schools and after school programs. I understand the challenge that schools and libraries can face when it comes to monthly budgets they must meet. I truly respect and admire all who work with students and books, and appreciate the mutual respect for my profession as an author.
