I had a great time at this recent school visit! I loved how our Happy Thoughts and Hard Work volunteers played their roles! They really brought their own personalities to the parts!
GR1 enjoyed a visit from local author/illustrator/animator @AprilHartmann1 Her growth mindset message of using happy thoughts & hard work to help you achieve your dreams resonated with our learners. Thank you, April! @west_elem

Anyone as excited as me for back to school? These photos are from a presentation at Trinity West last spring. The kids were enthusiastic, courteous and clever! The drawing demos were so fun with their ideas.

On May 14th I had the pleasure of participating in the first ever Greater Pittsburgh Festival of Books. I had a wonderful time meeting some aspiring young writers and also sharing a bit of my illustration process through an interactive art demo.

I had the best time at school presentations last month, with my book "The Dream Keepers." The main characters “Happy Thoughts” and “Hard Work” inspire a growth mindset in the students, but I find the kids' enthusiasm is so inspiring to me!

Fellow #authors and #illustrators, do you have a favorite memory from a #school visit? During this recent in-person presentation, a cyber student watched the program from home and showed us an awesome drawing of her own Dream Keepers! 🤩🥲
