School Visits and Giveaways

Each school year, Robbi and Matthew visit ten Title I elementary schools across the country—five in-person and five virtual.

Through presentations and brainstorming sessions, we help kids harness creative power, unlock potential, and discover possibility. Every student and teacher gets a free book and “reading buddy” teddy bear courtesy of our friends at Build-A-Bear Foundation.

That Full Moon Feeling

Finding the Wonder and Telling Your Story

Using our picture book Everywhere, Wonder, as a guide, we describe the process of working together to write and illustrate a picture book—emphasizing themes of observation, discovery, storytelling, and creative empowerment.

The Research Study

For the past five years, we’ve partnered with Washington College to conduct the first-ever large-scale study of how author/illustrator visits impact elementary students’ attitudes about literacy.

Creativity Club

Once a week, we gather with kids from our local Title I middle school to make stuff, imagine, and laugh.
