Teacher and Librarian Comments

“Thanks again for your visit - I have had fantastic feed back and your books are flying off the shelves!”

“The students were very, very excited to share about the visit and all your books are on a waiting list. Again, thanks for a great job.”

“It was a pleasure meeting and working with you. Thanks for touching the lives of so many children.”

“Simon - thank you. Our students loved your presentation - than manner in which you present, and the information you provided them with. Thank you so much for reinforcing the work we do in schools. Hearing from a real 'live' author is one of the best experiences our students can have. I found

you to be so friendly, so easy to get along with; I loved your sense of humour and really appreciated your classroom management skills.”

“I'm glad you came. I can assure you that, not only the children but the teachers as well, had a wonderful time listening to you!”

“Your contribution to children’s literacy is most enjoyable! Keep inspiring those young minds … priceless!”

"Thank you so much for coming to our school and helping our students to desire to learn more. Our class are enjoying our journey through your first book. There are days when some almost beg me to keep reading instead of all going out to play. That’s impressive!"
