School Visits

Amber brings her picture book, An Algonquin Heart Song: Paddle My Own Canoe, to elementary school children through an exciting and interactive visiting author program. 


Her full-day elementary school visit program consists of two presentations, each tailored to specific grade levels.  She can do up to 5 presentations per day and requires an LCD projector for a PowerPoint slide presentation.

Grades K-2:  Focus on canoeing adventures.  She brings life jackets, paddles, and other equipment for hands-on fun and shares the book as it relates to wilderness camping. 30 minutes.


Grades 3-5:  Focus on the birth of a book.  Stories don’t spring from thin air.  Many different sources influence the creation of a story.  Amber shares the process of writing and publishing this book and leaves students with a writing challenge of their own to tackle.  50 minutes. 


Each program is packed full of natural history information, wildlife photos, and attention to environmental topics.  Books can be purchased directly from the author.  Please email for rates and schedule.
