Inspiring joy, connection, and big smiles—one interactive presentation at a time.
I’m thrilled to bring the world of Happy Buttons (published by Share Your Smile, LLC) directly to your classrooms! My author visits are designed to be engaging, interactive, and tailored specifically to early childhood and elementary young readers.
Whether your students are in Pre-K, Kindergarten, or up through 5th grade, we will explore the real-world inspiration behind the book and discover how the smallest gestures can completely turn someone's day around.
Every school visit is tailored to fit your schedule and can include a mix of the following interactive activities:
Interactive Story Time: A lively reading of Happy Buttons. For large groups (like assemblies in the gym or library), we can project the vibrant illustrations onto your screen so every child has a front-row seat!
"Behind the Book" Presentation: A kid-friendly look at the creative journey—from a real-life spark of inspiration to sketching characters and layout design.
Q&A Session: Automatically baked into every visit! Students get to ask real questions about being an author, running a business, and how books are made.
Book Signing & Personalization: A special opportunity for students and staff to get their custom, pre-ordered hardcover copies dedicated and signed.
