About the presentations

Presentations can be tailored for your group. As an author-in-residence, Ms. Albert has done hands-on nature activities with students, helped develop nature trails, and presented workshops on nature writing. Her most  popular presentations are described below.

A Rainforest Adventure
Albert talks about the plight of rainforests and how we can help save them. Students are riveted by stories of her rainforest adventures. They view a short video and learn how to make a mini-rainforest that makes its own rain.

A Coral Reef Adventure
Albert takes students on an imaginary trip to the coral reef. They unpack some surprising snorkeling gear, examine reef artifacts, learn how to make a wave bottle, and take a video trip to the reef. Kids learn how coral reefs are threatened and how to protect them.

A Backyard Adventure
Ms. Albert gives kids ideas for exploring one of the seasons by demonstrating hands-on activities that help them become more observant and responsible caretakers of our Earth. Fun, interesting, informative, and based on solid science.

I Heard the Willow Weep

Busy with Bugs

scheduling and fees​

We can discuss scheduling and fees by email or telephone. I do many different kinds of events: school visits - library programs - bookstore events - nature center festivals - literacy programs - homeschool programs - daycare programs - teacher conferences, etc. Each kind of event has its own fee schedule. I'm happy to negotiate, so that we can decide on a fee that is fair to both of us. My primary objective is to "teach kids to care for the Earth."
