We just had Debra Frasier at our K-2 school and 3-5 school for 2 days.
EVERYONE loved her.
Here's a sampling of what I've heard to convince you to look into
booking her if you can:
"Did you see the author?" (first grader - hoping I hadn't missed her!)
"write, write, write, scribble, scribble, scribble" (second graders, quoting her
presentation on the work of writing)
"You should just invite her back every year." (teacher)
"That author was great!" (mostly uninvolved-with-library-happenings third and fifth
grade teachers)
"I wanted to tell her that there were 2 first grade special ed students who lasted
FORTY minutes!" (special ed paraeducator)
"teacup full of words" (hard to reach fifth grader remembering how a picture book
author has to choose words)
She does an after school presentation for teachers about extending her books. I
could go on and on - she's a treat to have in your school.
