My selection of 14 books were written with the idea of
HOOKING KIDS on READING
Picture books and young teen adventures.
FUN--MULTICULTURAL--EDUCATIONAL
Here's the Scoop!

As the author of 14 books,
I love gassing up my Magic Carpet of Books,
and
flying into classrooms anywhere there is a SKYPE connection.
I live in the US now, but I grew up in Australia, so some of
my books have a Down Under flavor. I Skype globally, depending on
how well the time zones mesh.
Many teachers have told me, that after my visit, their classes became much more enthusiastic about reading and writing. Meeting a real life author, and learning how their favorite
book came to life, can work marvelous MAGIC!
THE DEAL
I begin by introducing myself, asking about their favorite
books, and showing some Australian Aboriginal artifacts. Then a short question
time. I then read a story, and chat about how to write stories that HOOK
readers. More in-depth details about writing and how books are created,
depending on the age of the class, and what the teacher wants me to include.
The final Q and A is often the highlight of my visit!
