Kjersten at a school visit!

I love teaching and am happy to visit schools or libraries and deliver workshops or presentations on creative writing, art, illustration, or creative play.

Three workshops I do:

  • Helping kids make their very own journals (yes! We make real books!)

  • Secrets for writing funny books (lots of giggles for this one!)

  • Narrative play with one-page zines

    I also love incorporating projects into curriculum needs. Contact me for more information, rates for workshops or presentations, and availability.

My experience: I designed lessons for and taught art to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders at a local Montessori school for 8 years. I also taught 4th-6th graders during some of that time, so I have experience with a wide range of ages. Teaching is a huge joy for me! I have experience teaching in-person and via Zoom, and I enjoy both.

Please note that I also do a limited amount of 15-minute free author visits for schools during WORLD READ-ALOUD Day, which usually takes place on the first Wednesday in February. I especially appreciate visiting schools that have purchased my book, THE ELEPHANTS’ GUIDE TO HIDE-AND-SEEK. I will post a link here for my sign-up when it’s available.* SIGN UP HERE FOR WRAD 2025 ON FEB 5

Please don’t hesitate to ask if you have questions!
