TESTIMONIALS
“…such a thoughtful visit! The children and teachers were inspired by [her] journey as an author. I had multiple teachers ask me if [she was] ever a teacher because [her] presentation was so well planned and spot on for the age groups. Every school should have the privilege to have [her] join them!” ~Katrina Ayoub-Hansen, Elementary Teacher-Librarian, GEMS Dubai American Academy
“Andrea Wang is a complete super star! She did a marathon of virtual visits to the elementary schools we serve, and she gave the very last class the same level of energy that she gave the first class of the week. The teachers at the schools agreed that each visit felt extremely personal and engaging. Her presentations are full of visuals and her interactive readings of Magic Ramen added a lot to an already fantastic picture book. She also had unending patience when doing Q&As. The book discussion she participated in for The Many Meanings of Meilan will surely always be remembered fondly by the youth who attended, as several indicated how meaningful it was to meet an author who experienced and wrote about similar things that they go through in their own lives. I cannot recommend Andrea enough!” ~Emily Koch, Youth Outreach Librarian, Arlington Heights Memorial Library
“Our students loved hearing your book and your personal story, and especially all your ramen swag! It was a lovely and impactful author experience for our students and staff.” ~Beth Kovacic, LMC Director, Dryden Elementary School
“During our school’s Literacy Week, Andrea Wang was invited to be our guest presenter. She did an absolute wonderful job appealing to multiple grade levels. Andrea shared the creative process of writing and captured the audience’s attention with an engaging reading from The Nian Monster. The presentation was full of images, student participation, and educating the faculty and students about the Chinese New Year. Andrea also gave an incredible (individual) class presentation with hands on learning to further student knowledge from the assembly. She even took time to autograph books and her very own postcards and bookmarks. If you are looking for a guest author, look no further than Andrea Wang. You will not be disappointed!” ~Jesse Mavel, Lead Mentor & English Language Coordinator, Banning Lewis Ranch Academy
“Everyone is talking about Andrea! She was a big hit.” ~ Susan Irwin, Librarian, Pioneer Elementary
