Requests a The Golden Hoops Author Visit
Bring The Golden Hoops — and its inspiring message — to your students.
I’m hitting the road with The Golden Hoops (HarperCollins, September 2025) — a joyful story celebrating identity, belonging, and the magic every child carries within.
Through my Golden Hoops Author Visits, your school or program can give students a powerful literacy experience: hearing the story read aloud by me (the author) , engaging in interactive activities, and leaving with their very own signed copy of the book.
What’s Included in Every Visit
30–45 Minute Session — Read-aloud, themed activity, and student Q&A
Interactive Reflection Activity — Examples include “What’s in Your Golden Hoop?” or peer-to-peer interviews aligned with social-emotional learning
A Signed Copy for Every Student — A lasting reminder of the story and its message
Teacher Resources — Discussion prompts and optional extension activities
Why Schools Say Yes

Social-Emotional Learning: Reinforces identity, belonging, empathy, and community-building.
Turnkey Experience: My team handles the structure, materials, and follow-up — no extra fees or logistics for your staff.
