I’m very grateful to Mr. Brian Boyd for the following testimonial regarding my recent visit to St. Peter School on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. in order to do a reading from my Kingdom of Patria children’s series, along with some Q&A and a book signing. What a wonderful afternoon it was with the wonderful students from St. Peter!
Teachers–I know it’s impossible for you to take your class on a field trip to the Kingdom of Patria, so why not let the Kingdom of Patria come to you! For those in the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area we can certainly talk about a live visit. For those around the world a Google Hangout can work very well. As a former elementary school teacher myself, I appreciate all that you do and guarantee an experience for your students that will enlighten, entertain, and inspire!
“As a general rule, students like assemblies — and still I’ve never seen my middle-school students so captivated as when we had Daniel McInerny visit to welcome them to the Kingdom of Patria. Far more than a book reading, Dr. McInerny also taught the story’s historical background and held a fascinating Q&A about what it’s like to be a “real-life” author, planting good seeds which have already inspired my students to try their own hand at fiction! It was an absolute delight to have Dr. McInerny speak at my school, and I cannot more strongly recommend having him speak to students from 4th through 8th grade: an hour of giggles, groans, and good old-fashioned storytelling is guaranteed.”
