She is a great speaker and brings darling Willy to her school visits. Author Jeri Ferris, a biographer (Matthew Henson, Arctic Explorer, and Walking the Road to Freedom, Sojourner Truth + many more), is also an excellent presenter.

Box 90993 Long Beach, CA 90809-0993 Dear Miss Turner and Willy: It was a wonderful and beautiful program. You had everyone's attention as you talked about Wheely Willy and his reading adventures.
