| As for the true love of my life, which is visiting kids in schools, I first began presenting in June of 1999 when I spoke to a small group of students in Somerset, Massachusetts... read more |
Since that time, I have visited 65 schools across Connecticut and Massachusetts. Most of these visits have been targeted to fourth and fifth graders, although I have also spoken to a large number of third and sixth graders. I am happy to visit schools free of charge in my local area if students are given the opportunity to order my books after the visit by way of an order form. For schools outside of Tolland County, CT, a small charge will be assessed to cover mileage.
In Connecticut, I have visited schools in the towns of Bolton, Columbia, Ellington, Glastonbury, Manchester, Mansfield, Portland, South Windsor, Stafford, Suffield, Thompson, Tolland, Vernon, West Hartford, Wethersfield, and Windsor. Why not make your town my next stop? With over 3,000 letters of praise from kids, you can't go wrong!
