I am now booking through 2020 for author visits, storytelling programs, and professional workshops.

I saw Pat Miller present the first grade session and was so impressed.  I heard a teacher raving about the session while I was checking in, a kindergartner talking about it after school, and Will was so excited to show us his books when he got home. --Flanders Elementary (CT) PTA Board Member
I thought your visit was great! It was obvious from the very beginning of your presentation that you love children and have a real passion for providing them with a quality experience. --Heather Hess, Librarian, Hawley, PA
