“Visiting the library and going to your storytime hour was so impactful on my life and my favorite part of the day. You were so cool and talented and I loved how you brought all of the stories to life with your character voices and song.”

“You told a story at the OLA Conference in Bend. I was blown away by your powerful performance. Then I briefly wondered how I would ever get a job if libraries had Oscar-worthy performers on staff. It was a great session.”

“Thank you from the very cockles of our hearts–for the confidence and feel of a parenting win, for the songs and stories we’ll carry forward, for the silliness and fun, and for making (our son) so unbelievably happy. I credit my favorite librarian…with making me a lifelong book lover and I credit you with doing the same for (our son.)”
