What educators say

“The Alexander Valley School loved having you! Our students were engaged and inspired by your visit. K-3 loved A Love Letter to My Library, and enjoyed the song and video too. The upper grades, 4-6, were fascinated by the process of writing a book, and a few sixth graders have already started writing one!”
