Ms. Doyen loves speaking and working with kids; her mother was a kindergarten teacher for 40 years, and daughter Denise spent many-an-hour helping set-up classrooms and listening to lesson plans. Ms. Doyen offers interactive 50-minute auditorium presentations for school assemblies, full-day writing and wordplay workshops that can be geared to any grade level and entertaining half-hour classroom storytimes.
Denise Doyen has done presentations for booksellers, librarians and educators, lectures and workshops for picture book writers, and general public bookfair talks. She's happy to prepare a speech to precisely fit your book-friendly occasion. Contact her for her list of prepared talks/classes.
