Dear Ms. Herkert,

We, at Granville Elementary School, would like you to know how much we appreciated your visit to our school. The assemblies were wonderful and the children enjoyed them immensely. We also appreciate your efforts with the book signings and the donated books. As a small token of gratitude we have made a donation in your name to the National Wildlife Federation.

Sincerely,

Dear Barb,

How wonderful it was to have you here on Friday. Your presentation was engaging, inspiring, and well organized. We all thoroughly enjoyed having you here. Your book is lovely and we loved hearing about how it was created: passion, hard work, and talent! Thank you for taking the time to share with our school community.

Warmly,

Neskowin Valley School


Barb,

I just wanted to thank you for your fabulous visit to Liberty Elementary. The students were so excited about your presentation. I truly enjoyed spending the day with you! Best luck on your future projects!

Liberty Elementary School

I would love to come and visit you at your school! I currently have two different presentations that you can choose from:

Presentation #1: We will discuss how to attract birds to your backyard or schoolyard, how to identify birds, the most common birds you might see, and how to draw birds (with demonstration).

Presentation #2: We will discuss the process of writing, from finding a subject you are passionate about to finding a publisher. Various stages of a picture book are shown, from the storyboard and picture book dummy to the finished color illustrations.

My fee for school visits is $200.00 for a half-day (2 presentations), $400.00 for a full-day (maximum of four presentations). For destinations requiring an over-night stay, lodging will be included along with travel expenses.

You can contact me by e-mail--just click on E-mail me to the right of this page. I look forward to hearing from you!
