School Visit at Abbott Middle School

I’ll be doing a school visit later this month at my very own middle school, Abbott Middle School in West Bloomfield, MI on September 28th! I’m really excited to talk to the students and tell them all about making a career as an artist and writer! If you’d like me to visit your school too, get in contact.

You can read the full review over at Kirkus.
