Testimonials

“Robin had a wonderful way with the students and was very comfortable with students. She read her book to us and explained the illustrations which was so fun! Overall, the topic was of great interest to our students and they really related to both the speaker and the book.” -KC Brock, Librarian

“Robin's presentation of her book, Doggie Do's and Don'ts, is extremely informative and presented in a way that engages children of all ages.  This is much needed for the safety and well-being of both dogs and humans, and it plants good seeds for future dog owners.  Thank you, Robin, for seeing a need and stepping up!” - Sheilah T, Librarian

 “The work you're doing is super important and the education you provided our girls lit them on fire for saving the animals.  My daughter wanted to volunteer the next day!” – Allison J, Brownie Troop Leader
