SCHOOL VISITS Comments:

“Your willingness to integrate our thoughts and priorities was appreciated and enabled us to connect your visits to the current experiences of our students”
“You seem a natural teacher, anticipating the interests of children and responding with clarity and verve to all their questions...by the seeming ease with which you adapted your comments for the two quite different age levels of children with whom you met,one after the other”
“Your thoroughness and directness in speaking with them was a wonderful balance of personal and professional”
THE PARK SCHOOL Massachusetts Librarian: Rusty Browder

“In working with the children, you related to them with understanding and compassion.You were able
To draw from their experiences of dealing with sadness and related it to your work in GRANDMA’S SHOES
...You seem to have a natural ability to be able to reach out to children and make them feel comfortable to ask questions and share their feelings.”
