Book me for a reading!

I love connecting with the community and would be thrilled to visit your class or school for a book reading. There is no set fee for readings; however, an honorarium is welcome if school funding permits. My goal is simply to share stories, spark curiosity, and create a meaningful experience for students. If you have a creative idea in mind, I’m always happy to collaborate.

Readings are available beyond elementary classrooms and are offered for ACCESS and special education programs at any grade level. Please note that Jadyn’s availability is limited due to her role as a full-time teacher.

If you’re located in Calgary or surrounding areas, please complete the form below to get started.
