"Thank you for coming to talk to our group. It's an honor to hear from an accomplished author and teacher, and I loved the ideas you had about fostering a love of reading and writing in the classroom. Thank you.”

“What an honor it was to have Mrs. Draper meet with us! Just like her books, her words were moving, motivational, and meaningful. My students, who are junior year college students and education majors, can’t stop talking about how she inspired and encouraged them! If you get the opportunity to meet with Mrs. Draper, I can’t encourage you strongly enough to take advantage of it! She is amazing!!”

“Thank you for taking the time to meet with us. Your responses to our questions were so insightful and came to you so eloquently. I feel as if I were to meet you, I could talk to you for hours! Although there were well over 100 attendees, I felt as if you were talking to me and giving me the inspiration to keep going during these trying times. I am tearing up (again) just thinking about what an impression you left on me. Thank you, stay well, and keep being you!”
