What
Others Say...
Nancy
White Carlstrom is as delightful and down to earth as her books are. Nancy
joined us for our monthly community Story Time and was full of enthusiasm
and personal stories as she shared her art with us. Children, parents and
would-be authors all enjoyed her visit. We look forward to having
her back!
—Sheila
Mischke
Chapel Hill Presbyterian Church
Gig Harbor, Washington
Nancy
shared her books with students of different ages, each time tuning
in perfectly with each group. Her presentations were open and
from the heart, whether she was talking about her life, or "singing" with
her books. The children still talk about the "Jesse Bear Lady" who
came to visit!
—Elvira
DiGacomo
American School of Bilbao
Bilbao, Spain
Nancy White Carlstrom brings light,
laughter, and learning to elementary
readers and writers. She presents her work to students in a way that
motivates them to read and to think. In large group presentations, she
highlights the writing process from collecting ideas to the final
published book. In writing workshops, every student feels like
a writer or a poet when they follow the path down which she leads them.

Sher Smith Ross
Mount Baker School District Librarians
