School Visits
DyAnne's community spirit touches all of her written and illustrated work. Her enthusiastic school program empowers students to "never give up" and "take action." From her growing-up years in Brooklyn, New York, DyAnne narrates a humorous and lively presentation including rejection letters, re-writes, book dummies, art materials, and the real life inspiration that makes all of her children's books come alive.
