I had so much fun last week, reading with the children in K, 2nd & 5th grade classrooms at San Rafael Elementary School where I was visiting Principal for the day. Look, do you see a spirit in this tree? I would LOVE to hear what YOU see. Tag Tree Spirits Book when you post yours.

It was wonderful to read to both the Stanley British Primary School and Village East Elementary School in Denver. Thank you to @TheBookiesBookstore for arranging two amazing schools and to all the parents who bought copies of TREE SPIRITS for their children.

It was terrific to read with all years together K-5 at Prairie Hills Elementary - what incredible imaginations and wonderful questions and discussion. Thank you to @thebookiesbookstore for arranging yet another fabulous reading and to all the parents who bought copies.

Loved reading with Spanish multilingual immersion school, Latona, yesterday with all their children through grade three. Amazing imaginations and terrific questions, including, how many hours did it take you to write this book? How did you find the spirits and all these trees?

Thank you so much @charterhousesquareschool for inviting me back this past October to preview Book Two: Tree Spirits Around the World is being published (pre-order now on treespiritsbook.com) August 2025. Years 1-3 were so welcoming and their feedback was so helpful.

We had a wonderful time reading Kiko Hodge's marvelous Japanese translation of TREE SPIRITS, the second and third graders were so active with wonderful ideas. Thank you and congratulations to Kristina Kiko Hodge! #treespirits #development #ourfuture #imagination

Thank you children & teachers at Latona Avenue Elementary, LA for their wonderful review: “All the students were engaged and had fun using their imaginations and creativity… We’re so grateful for the experience!” Here's the students’ own drawings of their "Tree Spirits".

Met so many inspiring people at the ALA in Philadelphia, including this lovely lady who shared the most touching feedback on TREE SPIRITS. So grateful for her kind words!

Met this lovely reader at the 2024 ALA in San Diego, where I signed their copy of Tree Spirits. They have shared: "Your book has changed our family’s lives." Messages like this mean the world to us. Have a Tree Spirits story of your own? We’d love to hear it!
