"Hazel and Wayne Sheppard recently came to present at Cornerstone Community School in Stow, Ohio. Their presentation was very engaging. They presented to students, K-6h grades, and were able to find a way to keep the information relevant for all the ages. They did activities that included not only reading and writing, but science, math, and art. Also, the icing on the cake was that their presentation was very funny.
Hazel and Wayne were very animated and kept not only the students laughing but the teaching staff as well. I would highly recommend having them come to visit any school and I hope to have them visit my school again."
- Mellisa Pinchot, Cornerstone Community School-Stow, Ohio
"Hazel's presentation was both motivating and educational. Students learned so much from her about writing and publishing a book. Since her books came from her own experiences, students were motivated to write stories from their own experiences. Mrs. Sheppard's presentation was just wonderful!"
- Teresa Sopko, Fifth Grade Language Arts and Social Studies Teacher; Elementary Language Arts Chairperson. Rootstown Elementary- Rootstown, Ohio
"Inchy goes a long way in teaching children, including very young
ones, important developmental lessons about loss, forgiveness, and
healthy relationships."

Humanistic Studies Graduate School
"Hazel Sheppard visited the second and third graders at our school and her program was outstanding! Mrs. Sheppard used humor and warmth to engage her audience and kept our attention from start to finish. Her presentation corresponded with so many areas in our curriculum and the children were learning as well as having previous studies reinforced! We would welcome Hazel again to our school without hesitation!"
- Denise Finley, Third Grade Teacher, St. Sebastian School, Akron, Ohio
"The students at our school are still talking about Mrs. Sheppard and Inchy. Her presentation was both motivating and educational. Her books tied right in with our school's character education program. The staff and students at Valley View School would be thrilled for Mrs. Sheppard to visit us again anytime!"
- Lori Snoke, Teacher and Right to Read Committee person, Valley View Elementary, Wadsworth, Ohio
"Hazel and Wayne Sheppard were the highlight of our Right to Read Week Celebration. Our students thoroughly enjoyed their presentations. The Sheppards were guests at a special luncheon and students learned so much from this special time. They were also gracious enough to stay for a parent night. I would strongly encourage any school interested in a dynamic presentation to inquire about a visitation.
The teachers were talking about the assembly for 2 days!"
