"Paddy’s energy, enthusiasm, and love for storytelling and acting is evident in her program. The kids are energized, laughing, singing, encouraged to listen because they need to respond to the open ended ditties, rhymes, etc. that she uses. Paddy creates a learning atmosphere in a non-threatening manner and the kids clamor to participate."
Pam Deiters, Children’s Librarian
Tinley Park Library, Tinley Park, IL

Our kindergarten/parent literacy nights thoroughly enjoy Paddy’s presentations. We would not hesitate to invite her year after year as we have for 7 years now."
