Kirby Larson
Bringing yesterday's stories to today's readers.
About Kirby
I was the kid who hid her library books under her desk so I could read just one more chapter but I never dreamed an ordinary person like me could write books of her own. I love sharing my winding journey with students, encouraging them to follow their own dreams and also giving them tips on ways to re-envision their own stories. And there's nothing like spending time with the very readers who inspire me to brave that blank page each day!

What a visit includes
Though each visit varies by age group, my goal is to get students excited about reading and writing by sharing my own journey and giving them age-appropriate tips for writing, revision and research.
