Wartel at the Southern Connecticut Library Council recommended Nancy
since the kindergarten author had canceled at the last minute. I
simply cannot praise Nancy enough. A terrific person and wonderful
with the children, Nancy is very talented! Children respond to her
with enthusiasm. She engages them the moment she starts. Her presentations
are superb; she reads and does a variety of activities. She was
so good, we asked her to return for the Middlebrook Author Day for
the next five years! Any school would be happy (and lucky) to have
her. Nancy is a very spirited and energetic educator. She designed her lessons to meet the needs of our writing curriculum and was able to motivate each and every student in our first and second grade class to believe in themselves as artists and writers. The concepts that Nancy brought to our classrooms made a lasting impression on our students as well as our teachers.
Kate C. Fleming, Grade 2 teacher Stanley T. Williams School Northford , CT 06472 tel. 203/484-4431, email kfleming@northbranfordschools.org Nancy shows young children the excitement of coming up with an idea and bringing it to fruition in a beautiful book. She is a wonderful speaker and connects beautifully with the children. I have gotten raves from students, staff and parents about Nancy 's program and I recommend her highly to other schools. She models for all of us the deep human connection through her characters, stories and awesome cut- out illustrations.
