“Mike McQueen visited our elementary school and gave three amazing presentations to our students. Throughout his presentation he engaged our students through his experiences as a struggling boy reader. Mike’s presentation was educational and lots of fun!!! Through use of his cell phone, he connected students to his work as a 21st century technology saavy author and reader. He brought 3D characters to life, popping them right out of a book. Students laughed, participated, and could not wait to get their hands on the books and magazines he shared. He is an inspiration to all!” ~ Sharon Ivie, elementary school principal

“It was great to have Mike speak about reading, especially to our boys. Mike really connected with them in so many different ways....sharing his story as a struggling reader, expanding their ideas of what constitutes reading, teaching them a fun coin trick, and using awesome technology! Teachers stopped me in the hall and told me how excited their students were and how desperate they were to come back to the library and check out books. Thanks so much for inspiring our students to be lifelong readers. ~ Lesa Higgins, elementary teacher-librarian
