Her presentation is geared for k – 5th graders, although she also speaks at high schools and colleges. School visits include two 45 minute assemblies, two classroom visits, and a book signing.

Conferences that Diane has presented at:

• California Kindergarten Conference
• C. S. Huck Children’s Literature Festival
• Mission Inn Literature and Literacy Conference

Reviews of Diane’s presentations:
“When Diane read Zoom! to my kindergarten students, she related it to their first day of school. Just like the little boy facing the roller coaster, they had done something new and a little scary. She helped them realize that they were brave too, and that it’s fun to try new things. We really enjoyed her visit.” Nancy McGuire, Kindergarten teacher.

“I liked the part when Diane showed us pictures of her dogs reading books. And I also liked the picture of her trying to put a diaper on a duck. It was really funny.” Blake, third grade student.

“Diane visits my Children’s Literature classes at Cal State San Bernardino each semester, and the students love her talks. She gives them the nuts and bolts of how to write a children’s book, and shares her insights into the publishing world. She encourages them to follow their dreams, and to not let a rejection letter or two stand in their way.” Katherine Thomerson, Professor
