Her professionalism and enthusiasm were much appreciated.  Linda’s author visit will definitely be remembered throughout the year! -April 
  • Little Red Rolls Away is a captivating story that is a great tool for multiple subject areas and for character building. Linda was wonderfully prepared with an engaging presentation that connected with all students. We hope to read more books from Linda and have her visit again soon! The kids and I loved the book equally – have recommended to many of my coworkers– Kenzie, Educator
  • We had so much fun with Miss Linda in our Preschool class. She came and read her fun book about change and the emotions that can come with it. She is a fun author who reads with enthusiasm, and excitement! The children enjoyed following along, and making fun sounds with her as she read. She also came with different activities to go along with her book. It was fantastic! Not only did she read the book but she also asked the children questions about it and asked where he should go next. What a fun author! We thoroughly enjoyed her in our classroom.-Miss Carla
