Recommendations
Lee's
presentation to our Primary School was lively
and interesting and appropriate for the
age of the students. They were captivated
by her storytelling style and especially
appreciated the way she personalized the
story of her journey from telling stories
to her children to becoming a published
author. She was very open in her sharing
of the difficulties she faced in getting
her work published which made the children
value all the more the end product. "
