One of my favorite parts of sharing I Will Always Be Your Mommy is getting to read it out loud to children and families.
I have had the joy of visiting local bookstores and many schools, sharing the true story of Peawee and Susan with thousands of students, teachers, and families. These experiences have shown me how deeply children connect with this story and how meaningful live readings can be.

Visits can include:
• A live reading of I Will Always Be Your Mommy
