Lisl loves visiting schools and talking to students about her books, her writing process and cranberries! Here's what teachers have to say about Lisl's visits:

​Thank you for inspiring young authors at our school, taking the time to visit with children and staff, plus having a professional and fun way of engaging with everyone. For schools, libraries, or other venues that are interested in hosting an author visit, I highly recommend asking author Lisl Detlefsen. Her adventurous books, If You Had a Jetpack, 1-2-3 Jump!, Time for Cranberries, and Right This Very Minute, help provide an uplifting, energetic, thoughtful, and rewarding learning experience for students, that positively affects their own image as writers.  -Crystal Booth, Intervention Specialist, Oaklawn Elementary 

Mrs. Detlefsen's visit to our K-8 school was a great success. She delighted our younger students with her book, Time for Cranberries, and stories of life on a cranberry marsh. She wowed our middle school students with her writing journey, demonstrating how perseverance and practice pay off. Incorporating a quick and fun hands-on writing activity for our middle school students revealed the creativity we all have within. If you're looking for a speaker to promote the power of reading and writing, then it is time for Lisl Detlefsen to visit your school!  -Therese Conway, Librarian, Queen of the Apostles School

Lisl, you did an outstanding job! All the students and staff were very impressed. The kids were interested and motivated. Your message was clear and inspiring!  -Ann Marshall, LMC Innovative Specialist, Madison Elementary School

As an ELL teacher, I also especially appreciate the use of realia to help students better understand the specific “tools of the trade”. The pictures/visuals in your presentation helped clarify the ideas you were speaking to. Your presentation was still accessible to our students who are less proficient in their English skills and it was evident how much the students connected with you. You would be welcomed back anytime!  -Heather Sullivan, ELL Grades 3-5, Madison Elementary School
