"In a K-8 school, it can be difficult to have an author visit, especially one who can engage and create enthusiasm at all grade levels. Megan takes on this challenge with gusto, entertaining all students, from our kindergartners to our middle schoolers, with her fun picture books and presentations. Our students truly loved her visit and are looking forward to more books by Megan!"A. Walls, Librarian at Rockdale Elementary School
“I was happy to be able to sit in on the presentation for 7th and 8th grade students! Megan gave a wonderful presentation to our Jr. high students. It was engaging, informative, an addressed an area of needed growth (improvements in writing). Megan was great with the kids. Her background in education was evident as she commanded their attention and was not afraid to kindly but gently address the one or two young men who needed to better focus. Her books are also delightful. I would strongly recommend her to any school looking to treat its students to a fund educational school program!” Maureen A.,Technology teacher, Tinley Park
“Such an endearing story of friendship in spite of differences. This book’s timely message is a lesson for young and old readers alike. The characters, story-line, and illustrations make this an instant favorite!” Kathryn Rusnak - K-5 Administrator
