Testimonials

“We welcomed Angela to our Kindergarten classrooms this spring, and she kept them engaged and focused throughout her presentation. They absolutely loved her books! Angela took all the students’ questions seriously and answered in a very age appropriate way. She is very understanding about diverse student needs and behaviors. She was super professional and friendly. Teachers, staff, and students were all super impressed!” —Elizabeth Hitron, School Librarian, Sunita L. Williams Elementary School

“Overall I thought all the students (kindergarten through 2nd graders) were very engaged with your stories. They asked many questions and was a great experience to read dhow other people’s lives are different from their own. What made the visit memorable was you! You have such a gentle voice to read to the students and the way you were able to answer questions, ask them questions, played a game. It made the time go by quickly.” —Stefanie Forman, Newman PTC president, Newman Elementary School
