Wow! Brod was unbelievable! Students and staff have been raving about his hilarious performances and the fact that out of all the authors we've had, they felt Brod was the best!

Kerri Miller / Student Teacher

I enjoyed the energy he brought to his presentation and how passionate he felt about it. The part I liked the most was how he knew many of his poems. This showed how dedicated to his work he is and also gave us a good sense of who he was as a poet and a performer.

I am more determined to include poetry in my classroom since the presentation. I loved the tips of how to present poetry in the classroom. I think it is a great way for children to express themselves and can be easily integrated across the curriculum.

I attended a workshop you taught at the Davis County School district in Farmington, Utah two years ago. I bought your books and began "performing" your poems in class. I then had students "perform" your poems for the class. This has become one of the highlights of the year for my students. Thank you, thank you, thank you! What a difference your poems have made! My class loves your poetry first and then moves on to love poetry from many other poets who are "almost" as good. Poets like Jack Prelutsky, Shel Silverstein, Lewis Carrol, Walt Whitman, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson, etc. etc. My wife and I bought a used copy of "Steel Cables" from Amazon. We have loved reading it together.

Brod's presentation at Bowling Green State University's Literacy in the Park was an amazing and unique opportunity for my family. My sons, ages 5 and 3, were engaged during his entire poetry presentation.

We are so happy to have had such a successful author event this year! Brod has become a celebrity in our school. His celebrity status extended to parents, board members, and faculty from other buildings, who attended his events because there was such great buzz over his visit!
