About Audrey
As a former librarian, I LOVE to share the joy of books and reading with kids! My programs combine read-alouds, storytelling, singing, and lots of audience participation. My goal is for every child to see themselves as a creative human being with stories to share.

What educators say
“Thank you again for an amazing day of presentations. From the four year olds to the eighth graders, everyone was engaged and excited. One girl even wrote you a story; she took your words about creativity seriously!”
Visit formats
📚 One School, One Book
Audrey offers a One School, One Book visit or program for schools reading one of their books together.
What a visit includes
I customize my program to fit your age range, group size, and preferred visit setup (e.g., individual classroom visits or large, multi-grade assemblies). A typical visit is 45-60 minutes for elementary age and 20-30 minutes for pre-K or kindergarten. It includes read-aloud, storytelling, singing, and Q&A. Optionally, I can include a presentation on how an idea becomes a book (1st grade and up), and/or a craft (all ages, space permitting). Schools that also include grades 6+ may also request a writing workshop about adapting folktales. This program is available as an add-on only.
Fees vary by format, travel, and your school's needs. Reach out directly for a quote and open dates.
