Kudos to Teachers and Librarians!

I thank all of you for your hard work keeping our children safe and learning! The pandemic has proven that those of us who work with children are ‘essential’. Now more than ever, children (and adults) need stories of wisdom, hope, and humor. I am deeply committed to working with you to enrich children’s learning experiences. The following options are available and ready for the 2022-23 School Year.

During the 2021-2022 School Year, I successfully completed the following in-person residencies! Special thanks to all the teachers!

The online program was fantastic. Your videos were very professional. The kids loved all the sessions and are still coming to our Google Meets with their Oni masks and Samurai hats! Thank you again Motoko! You are always such a class act and thoroughly enjoyable!
