Merrill Memorial Library, 2025

“Sarah is incredible! She's such an engaging speaker & knows how to capture a crowd. The kids (& parents) in the audience were locked in the whole presentation and jumped at the chance to ask Sarah questions about herself & her career as an author/illustrator. The panelled storytelling activity she planned at the end sparked some incredible drawings from the kids and they loved being able to tell their own stories, with many of them walking away wanting to seriously pursue becoming an author themselves. Graphic novels are such a valuable part of today's literary landscape and I think it was a really incredible moment for a lot of the kids to see they can pursue writing and illustrating as a very real career. Sarah's passion is contagious & the way she speaks about her work is so inspiring, 10/10 would host again!”
