What Others Are Saying:
"My students really enjoyed the Elizabeti books, but I doubted whether an author could hold their attention for very long. They were completely engaged by Ms. Bodeen's presentation and talked about it for days afterwards. Ms. Bodeen really made an impression on them!"
-- Dawn T., Kindergarten teacher, Oceanside, CA

"There is an inquisitive, independent , unruly student I have who was expecially moved by your story. During our share time, she brought out a huge rock and said, 'This is Ava,' she had carried a 10 pound rock to school in her backpack! What an impressively tender moment. Thank you for your excellent presentation."
-- Juanita V., Kindergarten teacher, Southern CA

"During our Book Character Parade to celebrate Read Across America, one of my students came dressed as Elizabeti!"
-- Maureen H., 2nd grade teacher, Southern CA

"Ms. Bodeen is leading a most interesting life which she is passing on to her readers. She writes about far away experiences that all our children can relate to."
-- Marcy R., 5th grade teacher, Oceanside, CA

"You have changed the life of my 6 year old daughter Allison. She loves, loves, loves your book Elizabeti's Doll. She has had me read your book about 60 times. She just loves the story so much. Thank you for creating such an amazing story."
-- Wendy, New York

"Stephanie's presentations are very informative and entertaining. She intertwines an intimate view of another culture with humor and compassion."
-- Betty Johanssen, children's librarian

"I had the privilege of learning about writing for children from Stephanie in a community education class. What I remember most was the constant encouragement Stephanie gave to everyone in the class. Stephanie is a great encourager for beginning writers."
-- David Ellis, university instructor in elementary education
