Programs (English or Spanish):
RUN LITTLE CHASKI: 2022 Book Award Winner!! Run Little Chaski is perfect for children who are curious about other cultures and would like to learn more about South America, the Inka culture, and even some Quechua. The author talk portion focuses on culture and on my experience as a child writer and avid reader. We end the session dancing to the theme song and watching a video. A craft is available when presenting to small groups.
BENITA AND THE NIGHT CREATURES: A celebration of reading!! A kids' favorite as I act out the creatures that haunt Benita. We end our session dancing a song about books. The author talk portion focuses on culture and on my experience as a child writer and avid reader. For older children I offer a reader's theater experience as they recreate the story in their own words (only classroom groups). A craft is available when presenting to small groups.
KUTU THE TINY INCA PRINCESS: A story telling session for older readers (4th grade and up), and a dive into Inka mythology and writing short stories.
