FREE DOWNLOADS FOR EDUCATORS
My greatest hope is that you and your readers will enjoy reading my stories as much as I have enjoyed writing them. To make that easier, I’ve compiled these educational, helpful, fun (and maybe even inspirational) materials for you to use in your classroom or library.
But be warned: You must handle them with care. Why? All these materials are supercharged with Contagious Imagination. On contact, you (and readers in your midst) will be instantly transported to bizarre, wondrous, and exciting imaginary worlds…which you may never want to leave.
