Virtual Presentation/Workshop Information:
(JK to Grade 2)
I present sessions for students aged 4 to 12 focused on presenting the best of African culture and history in a friendly and engaging way.
I will open up my presentation with an introduction and my background as an author. I will then walk through African culture by exploring its geography, music, dance, and landmarks. After this, delve into the characters in my books and provide some more behind-the-scenes tidbits. Finally, I will do a book reading and conclude with a question and answer discussion.
The duration will be 30-45 minutes.
(Grades 3 and up)
In addition to the above, I will discuss African kings and queens, my publishing journey and the steps involved in making a book.
The duration will be 60 minutes.
