Cherry is available for school visits and speaking engagements!
Programs include:
Writing And Illustrating Picture Books
What is involved in creating a picture book? Cherry will read HOME IN A LUNCHBOX and share the inspiration and process behind the book. An interactive live drawing follows after, where she shows tips and tricks on drawing characters with students as live models!
Journey To Becoming A Creative
Cherry will share about her journey to becoming an author-illustrator, which included challenges that became fuel for storytelling. Appropriate for a wide range of audience, from students to artists and writers.
The Power Of Pictures
As HOME IN A LUNCHBOX is a story told through images with minimal words, Cherry will explain how she conveys emotions through colors, characters, and composition. Students will then have the opportunity to create a story with Cherry through an interactive live drawing.
Testimonials
"Cherry was an absolute delight. She did a really fantastic job of tweaking her presentation to personalize it for each group. We have a number of immigrant students who really loved what she had to say, and we also had a lot of middle schoolers who really found what she had to say about mental health compelling. We're so glad that she visited us!"
— The Park School librarian
“Cherry Mo’s author visit was nothing short of perfect for our sixth-grade middle school students. Although the students loved the interactive drawing part of the presentation, my favorite was hearing how she took a simple drawing and persevered for three years to create an absolutely beautiful picture book.”
— Brevard Middle School teacher
“Cherry’s presentation left a lasting impression on me. Her book resonates deeply with my own experiences. Her narrative, shedding light on the journey from Asia to the US at a young age, is both refreshing and much-needed. Her courage in sharing her story and representing Asian immigrant families is truly commendable.”
— Brevard High School student
“All of the preservice teacher candidates gained so much from Cherry’s talk and left even more inspired to make a difference in the lives of their future learners... Thank you from the bottom of my heart for sharing this beautiful connection and for sharing HOME IN A LUNCHBOX with readers.”
— Penn State Harrisburg Professor
