Thanks so much to the teachers, educators, and students I have had the chance to connect with!  Here are some references! 

 

"Chris's presentation helped students become better writers and for me to become a stronger writing teacher! Students were inspired to write more and revise their writing after the presentation. Also, students love his book. So far I have heard, "It is such an amazing book" and "I stayed up all night to finish the book."  Gina Wickstead, Middle School teacher, High Tech Middle.

​

Students embraced the main character Ari. Chris’ personal connection with the story made his presentation more meaningful. Highly recommend.” Mimi Yogaratnam, Director of Information Services, St Mary's School.

​

“I had the privilege to host Chris Baron at my bookstore and then to introduce him to teachers at High Tech Middle School where he did a presentation. Chris is a wonderful speaker who inspires students to read and write. He is funny, a master at his craft and so pleasant and genuine. Hosting Chris at any school or bookstore event is a treat!”
