Virtual Author Visits:
Lindsay is happy to offer virtual visits to classrooms and schools who have read her book beforehand. When tied in with lessons from Lindsay’s activity kits and discussion guides, the visit can be even more meaningful! Contact Lindsay to design a virtual visit around the needs of your students.
“Of all the author visits I’ve seen, this was my favorite.” —Jennifer Stilson, 2nd grade teacher, Hathaway Brown
“Invite Lindsay to your school immediately! And bring her back often! She is really that good. . . Outstanding in every respect.” – Janie Kantner; Librarian, Indian Trail Elementary School (Canal Winchester, OH)
“I watched my students as they watched Lindsay, and each one was mesmerized!” – Tracey Case, 2nd Grade Teacher, Avondale Elementary (Canton, OH)
“Lindsay was awesome. She made the booking process easy, asked lots of questions about our students so she could tailor her program to them, and her storytelling was superb! She made Polar Bear Island come to life in front of their eyes and made them yearn for more. She tied in her love for reading and writing from an early age to turning this love into a career as an author. Don’t hesitate – you need Lindsay to speak at your school!” – Jill Makee, Assistant Principal, Wickliffe Elementary School (Wickliffe, OH)
