"Thanks for such a wonderful performance at Range Elementary on Friday. The teachers have been raving about you. They say you are the best author/performer I have ever had here.They also say their students are rhyming better than ever. They really get it!

You made the Spotlight story on our MISD website!

I will definitely be in touch with you for future programs!"

January 2006 - Readers are Champions:  The Bookworm’s 2006 summer reading club show.  Wormy magic and an emphasis on reading helping you to grow up to be anything you want to be!  Ready date - May 25 2006. This show is now booking!

December 2005 - Snow Queen is now booking!

Steam, Water, Snow and Ice with The Snow Queen

This show is really a SCIENCE show teaching the children all about the different forms that water can take.  Children will find it fascinating to watch the various magic tricks that demonstrate Steam, Ice, and Snow, and learn about how clouds are formed.  They will also learn about deserts and the coldest places on earth.  Chilly the Penguin is the Snow Queen’s puppet side kick, who performs a hilarious magic trick where he reads the children’s minds.  Finally, the theme of diversity is touched on as Snow Queen demonstrates through some very moving musical magic that we should judge others not by what we see of them on the outside, but by what is in their heart.  Age 4 up. 

This show fills an important need - presenting science in a way that interests girls.
