Louisiana books for children

Louisiana Book Festival Author Talk and Signings

I am excited to be one of the featured authors at the Louisiana Book Festival on Saturday, November 2, 2024! I will be reading my latest book (just arrived!) Petit Pierre and His Wild Adventure and sing a few of my singable books from 11:30-noon in the Children’s Author Tent 2, followed by a book signing in the Cavalier House Book tent from 12:15-1:00 and a second signing in the Pelican Publishing Booth in Exhibitor’s Hall from 2:00-3:00.

The festival is the literary highlight of the year so you won’t want to miss it. See you there!

Virtual Author Visits and Concerts

Now that distance learning has come to the fore, I have brought back my Virtual Author Visits and am adding Virtual Concerts to my program offerings. Perfect for school systems, library systems, as well as virtual and traditional classrooms, these budget-friendly live events run twenty-minutes and include a Q&A section for students and teachers to ask me questions.

In the Author Visit, I read several of my most popular books and talk a bit about the craft of writing for children to inspire children to read and write. In the Concert, I sing several of my most popular songs and talk about my passion of sharing various Louisiana music styles and cultural heritage with children. Book and song request as well as student questions may be sent in advance of the scheduled events. As with my live presentations, these programs involve audience participation to actively engage students in the learning process.

I hope to see you soon!
