Nothing brings me as much pleasure as meeting and connecting with my readers! I have led interactive readings and workshops in collaboration with the Chicago Park District, the Chicago Public Library, and for World Read-Aloud Day, meeting classrooms around the country virtually. I welcome more opportunities like this– so if your school, home school collective, bookshop, or organization wants me to visit, please reach out!

My events usually begin and end with a short, seasonal reading from my book The Wheel of the Year, with a conversation and an interactive craft involving nature, observation, reflection and creativity in between. In the past we’ve sung songs; made nature collages, balance drawings, or magic wands; and gone on multi-sensory scavenger hunts together!

My goal for these events is for the audience to leave feeling empowered, inspired, and more connected to their environment. I am happy to tailor any event to your needs, taking into account the age-range and size of your group, and am willing to work with your budget.
