School Author Visits

“April did a great job of connecting with the students. Her storytelling and illustrations were captivating. It gave my students a glimpse into her life on the ranch with her family, as well as children living on the other side of the world in Africa. April helped my students better understand the global community that we live in.”

Adam Miller, M.Ed. Elementary Principal
The King’s Academy, West Palm Beach, Florida

“April has a natural ability to connect with students of all ages. Her books are delightful, and her presence is engaging and genuine. Our students truly loved her visit. We would highly encourage other schools to invite April Graney to their campus—it was a wonderful experience for our entire lower school.”

“April Graney visited Shiloh Christian School and shared her wonderful books with our students recently. The biblically based messages that are shared through her books are fantastic! Thank you, April, for taking the time to come, share biblical truth and positively impact all of our students!”

Shiloh Christian School, Tahlequah, OK

“April was wonderful to work with our school so we could fit her visit into our schedule. She spoke to K3 through 12th grade and each interaction was spiritual and age appropriate. It was a great day. Everyone enjoyed it very much and I would recommend a visit for anyone who is interested!” 

“After our 4th graders listened to April talk with them, they started writing “books.” The teacher has a spot for them in her classroom library and the students are continually reading each other’s stories. If some of them don’t like to write the story, they will illustrate them for their friends. It is so fun!”

William Bradford Christian School, Pryor, OK

“April Graney shared her wonderful new book with us, and led a fun conversation about our otter mascot, exploring how otters (and our students) are curious, playful, community minded, and courageous. She also inspired our students to take on the Kindness Challenge – to do five kind things today! A big thank you to April for encouraging our students to live out kindness every day!”
