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!
