Author Visits

"Joan Cottle was one of the most delightful speakers we've had in the Los Gatos Library. Joan has a light-hearted but firm handle on the route to follow from fine arts painter to children's book illustrator and author- the route she so successfully took. Her presentation has an appeal for all ages."

-Mary Ann Cook, president, Friends of Los Gatos Library

 

"What was so valuable about Joan's presentation was her manner with the children. She was very kind and encouraging; she treated every question and comment with respect and this caused the children to really connect with her and to feel comfortable asking any question. She was very honest and open with the children about her learning difficulties as a child and this was a great encouragement to our students. Our principle was so pleased with her presentation, that she has requested that I set up an author visit for every year."

-Librarian, Bethel Lutheran School

I adore visiting schools. I have a 30 minute author and illustrator presentation where I introduce myself, read my books, and draw for the kids. Whether we are counting ants by tens to one hundred, or learning how to draw Miles, my school visits are always lively and fun. I adjust my presentation to grade level and I enjoy answering questions. I'm very comfortable speaking to both children and adults. Please feel free to contact me for school and library visits, store events, conferences or workshops.
