Testimonials

Fifi was AMAZING!! She related so well to the children (aged 5-7 years old), showed items of high interest, engaged the children in trying them on, generated discussion about materials and ideas, showed relevant parts of her books. She was completely inspirational - we have had many of our students creating and drawing hats, masks and costumes at school and at home, children poring through School Journals finding Fifi's work, parents asking for the titles of her books because their children want to buy them to have at home. Hands down - Fifi is the most inspirational person we've had to visit us.
