TESTIMONIALS
- Larry Dane Brimner, Author, 2018 Sibert Medal
“They were thrilled! Thank you so much! Our kiddos come from a very low income neighborhood and rarely get a chance to travel or see things not directly in the community. We are trying to expand their world at school, and you were a perfect experience for them!”
Kayla Sherlin, Librarian, Baldwin Elementary, Paragould, AR
“Melanie Hope Greenberg's visit taught me a lot about illustration for children's books that I hadn't previously thought about….. I found it especially interesting that Melanie discussed the way that she uses the text to inform the layout of the pages. She talked about using borders around the page to visually distinguish when the protagonist was playing in her enclosed garden vs. playing outside, which I found really cool.”
- Student of Dr. Emily Aguilo-Perez Assistant Professor, English Department,
University of Westchester, PA

“Dear Melanie, Thank you so much for being with us yesterday for WRAD! The students absolutely loved hearing the story about the Mermaid parade on Coney Island. It offered a great opportunity to connect Social Studies with writing! Doubly wonderful! The first graders you spoke with are extremely motivated to continue their writing (and illustrative) efforts – I am so happy for teachers and our awesome learners! Thanks again for being such a blessing to our kids!”
- Linda Cox, Elementary Teacher
