Testimonials

“Mrs. Fair’s presentation to my Honors World History and Literature 10 students was both informative and entertaining. By sharing the process of publishing, including the decisions author and illustrator make as a book goes to print, she reinforced the magic of writing - the creation and control of a personal world. Mrs. Fair’s previous experience as an English teacher allowed her to design a follow-up writing activity that reinforced the student’s assignments, adding another valuable dimension to an already impressive appearance.”

“Sherry Fair’s visit to Calhoun Academy was a great success! The students from kindergarten through high school were excited about seeing Spatz and learning about his adventures. Sherry shared with the students the process involved in writing a book, and she taught older students how to develop a character in their creative writings. Sherry’s teaching expertise was evident as she worked with all grade levels, and Spatz could not have behaved any better. He allowed students to pet him, and in return, he shared his “bacon trick”. Teachers and students have had positive comments about Sherry’s visit and are already asking when she and Spatz will return.

“The children and teachers at South Aiken Baptist Christian School enjoyed our
visit from Mrs. Sherry Fair and Spatz. Mrs. Fair communicated well with the students and used appropriate activities for different aged children. She read her book to our younger students and did writing activities with our older ones. Spatz was very well-behaved and had a defi nite attraction to the children. They enjoyed watching him obey Mrs. Fair’s commands and blow bubbles in his water bowl. I feel comfortable in recommending Mrs. Fair as a speaker.”
