Katey Howes is an author, maker, and mother of three ravenous readers.  She is happy to work with you to tailor visit length, format, and content to address the needs and interests of your organization.

​

Whether it’s a handful or a school full, Katey uses her own books and as well as her knowledge of writing, STEAM topics, autonomy and consent, and childhood development to engage and entertain. Her love of children, literature, creativity and language shines in every session.

 

Choose from the sample themes below, or work with Katey to customize programs to meet your needs. Most programs can be combined with hands-on activities.

​

  • Dormant Ideas: Using Katey's November 2022 release, A POEM GROWS INSIDE YOU, students will compare seeds and ideas - both capable of lying dormant until the right conditions arise. Groups will engage in poetry and creativity activities while also learning about plant growth.

  • Rissy No Kissies: Learn about autonomy, boundaries, and consent. Discuss writing techniques including rhyme, repetition and variation.  Share the many ways we show affection. Practice SEL skills. 

  • We Are Makers: Katey's signature theme. Help students build an innovative and creative mindset. Recognize our skills and desires to make, write, and create!

  • Elements of Storytelling: explore setting, plot, character and more.

  • How a Book is Made: from idea to bookshelf!
