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.

The Testimonials

This book (My Peaceful Place) holds a special place in my heart because the author, Natalie Nordlund, visited my school following a community tragedy. Along with so many others that wrapped around our community, Natalie shared her book and her expertise as a school psychologist to help our students find their peaceful places. THANK YOU, Natalie, again and always for your support and peaceful presence, for your read aloud and guided imagery, and for giving me and my students the tools to go to our peaceful places whenever we need to find calm and peace.

Mrs. Stewart, Elementary Educator

Natalie currently lives in the La Crosse area of Wisconsin. For in-person visits requiring significant travel/overnight stay, the school/host covers travel expenses and accommodations. Programs are appropriate for grades PreK-6. If what you’re seeking is not listed above, let us know! We can create custom programs.
