Are your kids mad about meerkats or curious about cactuses? Then they will love learning about deserts from veteran children’s book author Rhonda Lucas Donald. Her presentation, designed to accompany her award-winning book, Deep in the Desert, is full of fun facts, activities, and singing! Please contact Rhonda if you are interested in having her read from her books or speak to your group.

The 30–50-minute presentation includes reading and singing from the book and learning more about the animals featured and their desert habitat. Rhonda will also lead kids in creating a fun cactus craft, if desired. There will be plenty of time to answer children’s questions about the book or about writing in general. Presentations may be tailored to suit your needs. Due to the hands-on nature of the presentations, small groups of one to three classes are preferred.

Rates: $75 per presentation plus travel expenses.
