“Having an author visit is special, but having one who truly understands the classroom dynamic is extraordinary. As a former teacher, Stephanie Toscano’s warmth and expertise shone through every moment of her visit for our school’s National Day on Writing. She seamlessly engaged students and adapted her presentation for each grade level, demystifying the writing process and inspiring students by showing how her own life experiences sparked her book, The Marvelous Monstera. Stephanie’s message—encouraging students to grow as marvelously, uniquely themselves—was deeply impactful, and the extension activities she provided gave our teachers wonderful tools to keep that learning going in the classroom. Behind the scenes, she was an absolute dream to host: organized, communicative, and effortless to work with. I cannot recommend Stephanie highly enough to any school looking to inspire young writers!”
