“Not only did Minh spark creativity and ignite a passion for reading, but he also imparted valuable lessons about kindness, family, and the power of imagination. Our students were enthralled by the colorful characters and the adventures they embarked upon. The teachers were impressed with his abilities to capture their students’ attention and his crowd management skills.”

For me, the best part of being a children’s book author is connecting with readers. I always tell readers that for me, a book isn’t done until it’s being read. So visiting schools and getting to meet with students and share a love of books and reading is my favorite thing to do.

I have met with students of all ages and in all grades always tailor my presentations to the audience. I aim to make our time together as interactive and engaging as possible, so during a visit I can cover a variety of topics, including (but not limited to):

  • An interactive picture book reading and discussion of the power of reading, creative writing, and the imagination

  • My life as an author—including how my journey as an author began with my journey as a reader

  • A behind-the-scenes look how to make picture books and/or graphic novels

  • Drawing upon family experience to tell stories that resonate with broad audiences

  • The importance of diverse literature

  • An in-depth examination of visual storytelling and how to use images to tell your story

“What made the author visit exceptional is Minh's heartfelt, patient and joyful connection with our students and community.  He was not only available outside the scheduled sessions, but was interested in learning about our students as individuals, readers and writers.
