| School Visits One of our favorite things to do is to share our story and books message with students and educators.

Give your students, staff or organization the gift of being inspired by best-selling author and illustrator team Laura Duksta and Karen Keesler. Their presentation will:

Accolades for Laura, Karen and their school program:“{Laura’s classroom visits and books} promote the self-actualization concepts of human possibility rather than limitation, so the child and adult alike may transform their lives into whatever they dream or imagine.” – Florida Sun Sentinel Laura Duksta and Karen Keesler are great! They have a presentation that truly supports the work of educators, parents and children. Their message of love includes both affective and academic elements. Social and emotional issues discussed include dealing with personal challenges, differences in yourself and others, appreciating yourself and others, using the imagination and self-affirmation, setting goals, accepting constructive criticism, and using your talents to help others. Academic issues include keeping a positive attitude in school, exploring the creative process, drafting and revising work of any kind (including written and artistic work) and persevering to complete a project. Laura and Karen know how to tailor their program to audiences of various ages. They helped my school find the genius inside each one of us! —From James McGhee II, Headmaster / Alexander School, Miami, FL I feel it's been a privilege to have crossed paths with these lovely ladies because of their message of love and their dedicated, compassionate method of delivering that message not only through their book and their web site, but also through their personalities. Every chance I've had to interact with Laura and Karen tells me that they have a strong message that needs to be heard not only in South Florida, but around the world. —From Julia E. Spann, Youth Services Librarian / Pembroke Pines/Walter C. Young Res.

I like it so much that I keep reading it.” —Alec Endara, age 10 “Your book is the best book on my book shelf. I really liked it. Love is the most powerful thing in the world.” — Max Zerbone, age 8 “The book was great! Me and my mom were reading I Love You More when my mom started crying! She was crying because it was such a good book and we always play that game to see who can come up with the very best reply!” —Lauren M, age 9 “I love the book, you look very pretty.” —Carly O, age 6 What teachers are saying: “I enjoyed it SO much that I took it into the classroom that I work in as a Teaching Assistant. I was able to read the book to two classes, and then we had them draw on a paper that said I Love You More... something that they loved more than anything or just really liked. The kids had a great time doing this class activity, and we are now taking those pictures and making it into a class book that will go around to each of the student's homes and then they can write as a family what they love more in the back of the book and pass it on to the next family. This book has become the impetus for a year-long classroom book project, and we couldn't be more pleased.” —Shash, www.crazedmommy.com “I did a fantastic LA lesson with I Love You More for Valentine's Day and now all the teachers in the school are interested in the book. The kids in my grade two class just love it to pieces. Thank you for such a great book!” —Terra Warmerdam, 2nd grade student teacher “I read I Love You More to my class today. It has such an incredible meaning when you are reading it to a class to let them know that they are all loved in their own way.” —Susan Brown, 1st grade teacher “I brought in I Love You More the other day to share with my student Megan who has Alopecia. I just thought you may like to know how much, I Love You More has touched my life, my daughter's life, and my student, Megan's life.” —Karin, 1st grade teacher
