Reading to kids is the best!

Young kids have the AWESOMEST energy, and I love sharing the adventures of Skoshie & Friends with them at schools and events.

ideal audience

Schools: Grades K-3

Did you ever think you had to wait til you were "good enough" to do something? I'll show young writers just how grown-up they don't have to be to tell their story.

Then I'll share my first book, "Strange Wild Beings," in an engaging, interactive reading.

TIME: Approx. 30-40 minutes

WHO: Ideal for audiences of up to 125 students

TECHNOLOGY REQUIREMENTS: Screen and computer connection (USB, HDMI, or USB-C) for slideshow presentation

younger kiddos

Preschools

Keeping it quick for small attention spans, I'll share my first book, "Strange Wild Beings," in an engaging, interactive reading. Skoshie and her friends even make an in-person appearance (in plushie form)!

TIME: Approx. 15 minutes

WHO: Ideal for smaller groups of young kiddos

storytime + craft

Library Visits

With a focus on "looking for good things," I'll share my first book, "Strange Wild Beings," in an energetic reading that keeps the kids involved.

Then we'll put together an original character-based craft project.

TIME: Approx. 1 hour

WHO: Ideal for ages 4-9

REQUIREMENTS: Screen and computer connection (USB, HDMI, or USB-C) if slideshow presentation is preferred. Whiteboard or chalkboard, to demonstrate the craft project. Otherwise I provide all materials!
