Some additional feedback from Helena’s events:
“You did a great job with the kids and your presentation was amazing! You are definitely operating within your life’s calling.” Romondo L. (Los Angeles Public Library)
“Your story was truly inspiring! I know you have planted a special seed in our students’ hearts. We hope to see you again with your new book.” Rebecca K. (Teacher, Monte Vista School)
“Helena gave a wonderful presentation to the 1st through 4th grade students at my school! The students were fascinated to learn about the history of the Korean turtle ship. They enjoyed hearing about her writing process and learning how The Turtle Ship was created.” Nicky M. (Head Librarian, Carlthorp School)
“I attended the book reading you did several weeks ago at the Palms Rancho Library. My older son, age five, adores your book! I wanted to let you know that I am the ‘mystery’ reader at my son’s school tomorrow and plan to surprise him by reading this book. What a wonderful book. Just wanted to let you know the joy it has brought our family…and hopefully more children tomorrow!” Emily P. (Audience Member, Palms Rancho Park branch of the Los Angeles Public Library)
A lovely thank you card from the Monte Vista School.
