Bring Maggie Right to Your Classroom

If you have any suggestions or would like to share your class stories, please drop me an email.

My favorite thing about being a children’s author is reading to children. I have read to more than 4,000 kids and “haven’t lost one yet!” (My personal claim to fame) I also offer classroom and private sessions on all types of writing which can tie in with a lesson plan and/or a specific theme.

In another image, the woman is signing a book while smiling, with a young boy standing next to her. The settings appear to be educational or community events.
