“We loved hosting Casey in our community. Her presentations were fantastic! Casey was a winning combination of being fun, engaging, friendly, humble, organized and enthusiastic. She inspired our groups by involving them in age appropriate activities that allowed children to envision themselves as authors (while getting a kick out of the creation process as they went). Casey was also very generous in sharing resources with us and problem-solving when the weather tried to interfere with our plans. We have invited her back to perform at the Lakefield Literary Festival Children’s Tent Event, and we are looking forward to adding her upcoming titles to our library collections.”

"Casey’s presentation was an absolute delight and so engaging for the over 150 students that came to see her! She shared her own story of perseverance in chasing her dream of writing stories and was so personable with the students answering all of their many questions with humour and respect. Casey’s story writing exercise provided the audience with an excellent example of developing their own story. Truly an inspiration to inspiring authors young and old. Thank you!" 

- Peggy Cline, Children’s Programming Coordinator, Grimsby Public Library

"Casey led an event at my daughters' school and it was truly amazing. She was engaging and informative, giving the families in attendance tangible tips to approach story writing. She provided many examples from her own experience and even brought tangible things for the students to see in person. This brought a very real connection to the event and to the idea that they could one day be authors themselves. She led the students in a fun story building activity and encouraged their every idea. Every person left feeling inspired and lucky to have been a part of the event. We look forward to having her at the school again in the future." 

- Amanda Costella, Notre dame catholic elementary school p.I.C.

"It was an absolute delight to host Casey in our communities. We worked with Casey to coordinate a tour of ten libraries and schools and give presentations to 1,500 students over five days. Students, teachers, and libraries were over-the-moon with her engaging, informative, and cheeky presentations. Not only did she discuss her books but she actually inspired the students about storytelling and gave them a picture of what it looks like to build a story and edit.  Some students brought books, and Casey made a point of speaking with each student who brought a book to sign. She is a superstar." 

- Rachel Burke, Events Specialist, Fraser Valley Regional Library (FVRL Reading Link Challenge)

“Casey’s visit delighted and enriched the minds of our youngest students.  Her relatable style engaged them in a discussion about her journey as a writer, and they were fascinated by examples of her work as a young child.  Casey guided our students through the development of a story they could call their own.  Her presentation was tailored to maximize audience participation, and students and teachers alike were enthusiastic about her visit from the far-off land of Canada!”

- Dawn A. Gillette, M.Ed., Assistant Head of School, Elk Hill Charlottesville School
