Te Totara Primary

Awesome time sharing stories about the power of reading with children at Te Totara Primary School. Question of the day: “What’s the downside of being a writer?” Answer: Hustling to make a steady income!

“I loved your presentation, David. It is so inspiring and will connect with a lot of students. I’ve just been waylaid in the library by boys asking where your books are, and one who asked for a book on rocks and gems! A teacher said they had students asking all about self-publishing too. This is what a teacher sent me David, in its original all caps format – WHAT AN AWESOME ZOOM MEETING, IT HAS INSPIRED ALL OF US TO READ 🙂 WHAT A GREAT PERSON. Thanks for the wonderful work that you do.” Michelle Simms. Library Manager
