“Phoebe Fox’s presentation to our students was delightful and engaging. Her introduction about herself, how and why she became an author, really captured students’ attentions. The spirit of her stories are of caring and kindness. Because of her experience as a teacher and librarian, she has a keen sense of reading her audience and responding beautifully. What a magical visit we had with Phoebe Fox. We are eager to see her again in the future.”

~ Liz Speciale, KNOX Gifted Academy Media Assistant

“It was a delight to welcome author Phoebe Fox to our school. She captivated pre-kindergarten and kindergarten students with her expressive reading skills and puppetry. Students connected to the themes in Fox’s sweet stories, Starry’s New Friend and Julian Blooms, and they enjoyed the lyrical descriptions of Arizona wildlife in Fox’s On the Verde River. Fox described her writing process, and students were eager to ask questions. Fox’s visit was a fun and meaningful highlight of the school day.” ~ Jennifer Donnelly, M.A., M.Ed., Library Media Specialist
“Phoebe Fox is a great speaker, wonderfully engaging, and the students of all ages enjoyed her visit to our school for the Read Across America event. Her books are ‘UP lifting’ and fun. I’ve just re-read ‘Up Up Up’ to my class and they recalled her visit with lots of enthusiasm!”

~ Karen Wells, Kindergarten Teacher

“Phoebe Fox has a way with children that captivates and engages their minds and imaginations. She is a gifted educator and writer who is using her talents to empower children to read and become writers themselves.”

~ Heather Caciola, Learning Resource Coordinator
