Robbyn shares with students, K – 6, the unique way her books were written and suggests that there is no one way to write a story. Before her visit she sends to the school a seven-minute video with unbelievable footage of Jackson, the Great Horned Owl. During her school visit, she will share many stories about her family’s extraordinary relationship with Jackson. She presents a slide show of all the animals they have cared for over the years, blending lessons in natural science, writing, and interactive storytelling. Her motivation is to give children confidence in reading and writing …with an important emphasis on journaling. Her main philosophy in life, just like her husbands, is one she encourages all students to take as their own. "Make your hobby your career." She says, "We all have to work when we grow up, we might as well be doing something we like to do". Each session must be 60 minutes long. Class size can range from 30 to 100 students. No more than 6 sessions in one day, please. If the sessions are held in cafeteria or gymnasium a lapel microphone is required…but the media center is a much preferred gathering place. The school should supply a carousel projector with screen.
