Anne Marie Kraus and I gave a talk at the Iowa City Senior Center about collaborating on her book When I See Through My Eyes, and I learned to make a PowerPoint presentation for the event! Anne Marie read the story aloud and I showed the PowerPoint sketchbook, demonstrating how I used illustration to develop the characters in her story, and the research that went into it.

The talk went well, there was a book signing, and we had fun and met interesting people. Anne Marie and I both have an interest in storytelling about diversity for children. We think if we can teach tolerance and understanding through our work, we can make a difference.
