‘Kristin’s picture book workshop was a delightful and inspiring experience for our year 3-6 students. Through engaging storytelling and hands-on activities, Kristin demonstrated how illustrations and words work together to bring stories to life. The students left the workshop full of excitement and newfound confidence in their ability to create their own imaginative tales.’ Susie O’Connell, teacher at Fulham North Primary School, 2024

‘Kristin’s enthusiasm for poetry was truly evident at the 2019 Meet the Writers Festival. She is able to pitch her presentations at a variety of age groups from primary to secondary students, and was a hit with the audiences.’ Aurora Reid, organiser of SAETA Meet the Writers’ Festival, 2019

‘Kristin spoke to our Year 3/4 classes today, she was enthusiastic and had the students enthralled and engaged. You could have heard a pin drop, plus they all wrote amazing poems using similes!’ Sofia Andreucci, teacher at Lockleys North Primary School, 2019
