Author N.L. Skeete's visit to our school was wonderful. The interactive activities she provided for the pre-school students was a great experience for all. The students have not stopped talking about her visit and we plan to invite her back to cover more classrooms in the future.

We contacted author N.L. Skeete to do a visit after receiving her book from a reading program. The children absolutely loved Ms. Skeete's presentation last time around and we look forward to welcoming her back to our school. We think Ms. Skeete's books are fantastic!
