School Visits
Susan and Luke at Panther Run Elementary
"Author Visits are so important because while I can do an awesome reading of a story, I am limited to my own personal knowledge of the book. When you invite the author in, you get their perspective and so much more!"
-Shannon Culp
Media Specialist
Author Presentations
"Animals and animal-related instructional activities enhance student's motivation and are effective methods for teaching children literacy and compassion for animals and all living beings."
