"Visiting Courtney Walker's library and meeting her students will always be a core author memory for me. Her attention to inclusivity was apparent from the moment I walked through the school doors. Every student's needs were met so my author visit was something every child could enjoy. Whether it was ensuring her non-verbal students prepared ahead of time to create questions they could ask via various communication devices or including her students with significant disabilities in all components of my visit, I loved how special she made the day for everyone. Courtney ensured I was supported in interacting with her students with disabilities, allowing me to reach all readers during my visit." Jen Calonita, New York Times Bestselling Author
