Presentation Description:
I am able to work with most grade levels. I have an interactive
presentation on developing hooks for picture books, making a picture book, or hosting a
trivia game of Picture Book or Literary Jeopardy for upper grades. Presentations run about 40 - 50 minutes. And, I am also able to add an arts and crafts element
depending on the age group.
