“I signed a picture book contract with New Frontier Publishing thanks to Stef.”
“Stef completed a Book Week Author in Residence in 2019 over three full days with the entire school. Stef did a wonderful job of keeping all children engaged in age-appropriate workshops from the littlest Foundation student to the soon to be graduating Grade 6's. The teachers loved how she linked many of the story writing workshop elements to their current curriculum. We look forward to welcoming Stef back again soon.”
