Guest Author

Barbara has taught everything from Bible study to 4 year olds, to accounting to adults. Her expertise is in English, grammar, writing, and speech.

As a life-long learner, Barbara researches the wildlife in her books and shares facts and sounds with her readers. Children from the ages of 4-9 enjoy having Barbara read her books and discuss the animals as well as life lessons about friendship, kindness, and getting along with others.

Reading “Quincy the Quail Leads His Family on an Adventure”


SCHOOL VISITS

Barbara visits schools as a guest author. She reads one or two of her books and facilitates a writing or craft activity with the students.

Barbara creates lessons appropriate for the grade level.

Barbara organizes Author Fairs that include book readings, literacy lessons, and book signings.

“I was pleased that our school valued writing to the extent that they allowed me to plan a full day of guest authors who shared their craft with the students. We had 7 authors who presented 4 lessons to different age groups. There were 2 sessions in the morning and 2 sessions after lunch. Each author presented a different topic that would give students a special take away they could use in their work. The generosity of the authors was amazing! They did not ask for anything except a chance to sell their books to the students.”
-Marti Noland, 4th Grade, Department Head
Paradise Valley Christian Preparatory
