ADULT PROGRAMS

“We are getting all kinds of great compliments and thank yous about your talk, your reading, your books, your music and your singing. You definitely impressed every lady (and man) in attendance. We are hearing comments like: ‘I could have listened to him for another hour’, ‘It’s really nice to have someone read to us again’, ‘Everything he read or said was so true’, ‘He’s such a genuine person’, ‘What a talented man in so many ways’, etc.”

“Thank you so much for the inspiring message this past weekend.  I've never enjoyed an author as much as you.”

“You really touched our hearts with your special talents and important messages. We spent much of our drive home talking about why we are waiting to do the things we really want in life. You provided some very useful food for thought and we thank you for that. This was one of the best getaways we've ever attended.  Having you there with us made the weekend very special.”

“I have heard so many positive comments -- one lady told me that we should have you for entertainment every year. Your stories were wonderful and your willingness to sign books for as long as necessary was much appreciated.”

“Your stories and songs were perfect for the occasion and were greatly appreciated by everyone.”

“I want to express our deep thanks for your marvelous program. The message of love, hope and adventure truly filled us with ‘hope in the everyday heart’.”

SCHOOL VISITS

“During the conference, students and parents were very engaged throughout. Students seemed to very much enjoy the drawing session and you were very open to their suggestions, no matter what they were.”

“The school as a whole enjoyed your visit. In your own quiet way you taught the students how a book gets put together and how an author thinks. They were also privy to your talent as an illustrator. Taking student ideas and putting them all together as a sketch was great modeling for all of the kids. I truly appreciated taking the kids in the ‘small’ groups as you did. That up close and personal touch made for a great visit. Thank you.”

“Thank you for a delightful, inspiring talk about your career as an illustrator and writer. The children and I enjoyed your presentation immensely. We could sense how delighted you were with each of your precious creations.  Each book seemed to have a story and your joy connected with it.”

“I think Mr. Hanson did an incredible job of inspiring all of us to write and follow our dreams.”

“We were thrilled with the time you spent here at Washington Elementary.  Your message to the students was inspiring and well received. Students related well to you and were attentive and enthused listening to you.”

“Warren taught us about illustrating, talked to us about writing, tickled our funnybones and touched our hearts.  He even sang (about chocolate). It was a great last week of Reading Month!”

“Your visit last month is often mentioned in conversations around our building among students and staff. Your presentations made happy memories for our students and their parents. You will fondly be remembered here as the guy that was better than pizza!”

“It was our pleasure and privilege to have you here! The kids were absolutely impressed as were the teachers. I have heard nothing but great comments.”

“My evaluation of you and your presentation is a big A+.”
