Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)

People of all ages, but especially school-aged kids will meet, learn from, and be inspired by an author/illustrator.

Measurable Outcome(s)

The 3rd graders from one of our elementary schools walked over. The teachers loved his presentation. As a former teacher, David had great group management-- even including a stretch break cleverly disguised as an exercise following the movements a marionette puppet version of one of his book characters was adapted into was making. I would definitely recommend him and hope to have him again. He was very easy to schedule with and well organized so it made the day of setup go very smoothly.
