School Visit- Sacajawea Elementary (Seattle)
This month I had the great pleasure of traveling to Seattle Washington to visit Sacajawea Elementary in North Seattle. I’m super grateful for the invitation and was happy to read Fresh Juice and to talk about who I am and what I do.
Thanks to Robin and the whole PTA crew who do a lot of work to fundraise, organize, call, text, and bring parents and kids to events like this. Above you can see the flyer for the event which was not just about me, but bringing in old books for a bookshop, connecting with each other, and inviting lots of different types of people.
So, when I get to read to kids and family I share a couple of things to try and engage folks so its not just me talking but a back and forth.
- Picture Book Reading
- Q & A about writing and drawing
- Fruits, veggies, and community
- Different types of family structures
- Character design
- Art Books
- History
School and Library Visits: I’ve been visiting students as a storyteller since 2012 yall. I started as an illustrator first and then I became an author. I visit many schools every single year. I’ve been all over the Bay Area and Ive read to students in California, Texas, Oregon, Washington, New Mexico, and Ohio. At this point I’ve visited over 100 libraries and schools. Recently I put out the call to visit more cities in Northern and Central California. If you’d like to invite me to visit your school or library in the Bay or outside of it, I’m open to travel!
