Presentations: Alison Hoffman Lane first began writing children’s stories when her son and three daughters were growing up. Her son David’s curiosity and imagination in particular sparked ideas in Lane that led to elaborate tales. Her husband also served as inspiration for Uncle Arnel and the Swamp Witch. Mrs. Lane loves to share her Cajun stories and creative process with children.
Audiences: Best suited for grades K-5. Alison will present to small or large groups, though groups of one or two classes at a time allows for more individual attention and better Q&A time.
Available Times: Her weekend shifts as a registered nurse leave her free during the week for school, library and summer camp visits. The author lives in New Orleans, LA.
