Visits
Jeanne has lots of experience talking to young students, both as an experienced picture book author speaker and as a credentialed teacher of Language Arts and writing workshops. She has also been a long-time docent for school groups at The Museum of Modern Art in San Francisco.
Her 30-45 minute presentations are interactive, engaging, educational, and fun! She can also include and lead art projects tied to the books. Here's a sampling of some of her Projects.
In person or via zoom, Jeanne can speak at schools (from individual classrooms to school assemblies), bookstores, libraries and book groups.
She will customize her presentation and activities for your group. Jeanne loves visiting groups and sharing her experiences about writing books and inspiring readers!
