• It was truly a pleasure having you visit North Augusta Elementary! Your interactive approach kept them engaged, and your message about the importance of having trusted adults in their lives really resonated with them.

    One of the most meaningful takeaways was seeing how your visit continued to impact our students after the presentation. Several students immediately asked if they could check out The Uncles from our library! One student even shared that the author visit was the best part of his day. He went home and proudly told his family that he realized he had lots of "uncles" in his life—people who love, support, and care about him.

    You did more than share a wonderful story; you helped our students make personal connections, recognize the caring people in their lives, and understand that their own experiences can inspire meaningful stories.

    We thoroughly enjoyed having you!
