Bruce is very easy to work with and has a wonderful personality for school visits. He is a great storyteller and easily holds the children’s attention. After the Author’s Faire, a special day student connected with him enough to go back to her room and reproduce all of his artwork, a gifted fifth grader spent the afternoon playing with language, and all over our neighborhood, children spent the weekend reading Bruce’s books.

As a coordinator for our author visits, I struggle to find authors that meet the needs of our primary and intermediate classes.  Bruce has a variety of books that easily span our TK-6th grade students.  He also met the demands of presenting to all grade levels by creating presentations that were unique to each group and incorporating teaching strategies to keep students engaged and entertained.
