“We were all delighted with Susan’s visit. The students were fully engaged
in the presentation, including answering questions, volunteering to hold props,
learning accompanying hand motions and singing the lyrics to her book,
MY MAMA EARTH. The students were very inspired to write their own stories.
It was a wonderful presentation and we are so grateful that Susan took the
time to encourage our young readers and writers.”

Ms. B, Central Elementary, Belmont, CA

“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 authors work, discuss the writing process,
and learn first-hand what an author can accomplish.  Well done!”

Andrea Roberts, 1st Grade Teacher
