Testimonials
“I have heard a number of authors and illustrators during my career but was particularly impressed by Michelle’s session with our Year 3 children; it was a great mix of presentation, information, inspiration and topped off with a cracking piece of art in action. The children loved it - I could tell from both their interactions with her and from their quiet conversations with each other. Michelle had a lovely way with the children and seemed genuinely interested in their thoughts and responses. I wholeheartedly recommend Michelle and would definitely have her return to us.”

“The presentation Michelle gave to the children was so relatable and inspiring! I think the connections to how she sometimes thinks like a scientist when she researches and experiments was wonderful. The pictures that were used to show examples of her thinking and work process, and the fact that she makes mistakes during this long process was a powerful message (growth mindset!). There’s a little girl in my class that said that she wants to be an illustrator like Michelle. She was inspired by Michelle’s examples of drawings from when she was a child. Thank you for the inspirational visit!”

“… She didn't just show up, she totally connected. Any school would be lucky to have her, and we are so grateful she made the long trip to be with us.”
