“Liza connects to children and adults by inviting each individual into a personal conversation about a wonderful secret that must be delicately shared, nurtured, and passed on with mutual creativity between generations. Liza is a lovely and gracious program partner who is easy to work with and flexible as the situation requires, be it a garden full of energetic elementary school kids or an audience of grandparents and toddlers. We look forward to more programs with Liza that restore to us our childhood dreams and sense of wonder.”
–Kate Pickup-McMullin, Assistant Director of Southwest Public Library
