Workshop
reviews:
"Lisa's manner with children is natural
and encouraging, immediately putting them at ease. Her writing advice was
advanced enough for adults, but simple enough for children. By the end of the workshop,
even the shyest students were sharing their literary creations. “
- Andréa
McKenzie, Bill Library, Ledyard, CT
"The children really enjoyed your
presentation of your novel, Ride a Horse Not an Elevator, and receiving an
autographed copy. That aspect especially did a great deal to help them feel
connected on a personal level to the whole writing process." Susan R.
Bailey, Riverfront Children's Center, Inc.
“A ‘warm fuzzy’ in paperback form. It is a
tangible tale for storytelling that provides a springboard for discussion between children and adults.”
Ruth Zwick, Educational Director, Sentinel Publications
“A special treat for children and adults!”
Mary K. Henderberg, Editor, Wayne County Star
“Ride a Horse Not an Elevator is a
refreshing tale of a young city girl lucky enough to still have
grandparents living on a farm. Using the
horse as a magnet, we have tied Lisa’s story of life’s
lessons in this child-friendly setting to
agriculture, the care of horses and horse nutrition, to human
nutrition and good eating habits, fitness
and exercise.” Jeannie Griffiths, Cornell Cooperative Extension Horse
Specialist, Department of Animal Science, Cornell University.
