It was such a wonderful opportunity for our students to meet with a genuine author, especially one with such an inspirational story and powerful message. Lorie Ann’s message really clicked with our students and we are so grateful she could share her ideas, passions, and process with us."

Meghan Kenney, Teacher, Al Batinah International School, Sohar, Oman
