During author visits, Jennifer strives to make the day especially fun for kids, and teachers, too. She has visited hundreds of school and thousands of children across the U.S.

Using her books, music, storytelling and puppets, Jennifer brings her books to life while imparting the power of imagination, the importance of words and the concepts of writing via ideas, text organization, word choice, plot structures and research. Because nature often plays a role in her writing for children, she loves to share her experience writing about her experiences in different biomes, including the desert, the ocean, the Arctic — and ecosystems — from the bark on a tree in a backyard to a stream in a far and wild place. She can tailor her content to fit your school's study focus. Students also get to view original samples of her elementary school writing, which often proves very inspiring! Jennifer's picture books tie into all strands of national curriculum standards including math, science, language arts, music and social studies.

Jennifer's website offers detailed information regarding her visits to schools. She is also happy to send an Author Visit Packet to schools interested in her visits. Her Author Visit Packet contains promotional materials, lesson plans and tips for planning a successful author visit.
