Recent Feedback from Presentations & Keynotes with Susan B. Katz, NBCT
“Susan’s classroom presentation of Mama Earth was an absolute delight for my
1st graders. My students were thoroughly engaged as Susan, dressed as Mama Earth,
encouraged active participation throughout the reading. Susan’s presentation
aligned perfectly with our writing program as my young “authors” got to meet
a real author, see and hear the author's work, discuss the writing process,
and learn first-hand what an author can accomplish. Well done!”
— Andrea Roberts, 1st Grade Teacher
