YOUR TURN
*Sigmund Brouwer* was a huge success here at Sir Edgar Bauer Catholic
Elementary School in Waterloo. He engaged the entire student body in his
presentation with energy, fun and enthusiasm. His books have become
immensely popular here. He made a big splash at Holy Rosary School in
Waterloo as well. He is overloaded with charisma and talent. Holy Rosary
also had Sigmund present a writing workshop which the students and teachers
thoroughly enjoyed. - Jane Blythe
Thanks for taking the time to comment on Sigmund’s visit, Jane! We
encourage feedback on all author visits!
