Author Visits & Programming
Connect With MEdia's author Dr. Natalie Nordlund is available to provide author visits and programming, including interactive storytimes and presentations as well as workshops with caregivers, educators, and other child-serving professionals on using media for cultivating connection and children’s social-emotional well-being and growth.
Natalie is available to visit schools, classrooms, or student groups in-person or virtually. Author visits are tailored to students’ ages, and programming can be adapted to what is desired and requested. During visits to schools, daycare centers, libraries, or other youth serving organizations, Connect With MEdia books are often utilized as an educational and discussion tool, connecting its social-emotional learning focused topics (e.g., emotions, coping, mindfulness).
Connect with us if you are interested in inquiring about or scheduling a virtual or in-person visit or program. Natalie looks forward to meeting you and your students! Information regarding school visits can be found below.
