“It has been a privilege to host author Kate B Jackson at Alcott Elementary! She gives a fun and engaging presentation that students really enjoyed. Her Sasquatch Hunters book series is a must as it pays tribute to Pacific Northwest lore and more. She even donated a book set as a part of our Seahawks Superbowl wager care package for an elementary school in the Boston area. Nothing better than Hawks & Sasquatches!”
—Jon Hedin (he/him), Principal, Alcott Elementary

“Kate B. Jackson’s recent visit to Olivia Park Elementary was an outstanding success! From the moment she began speaking, students were completely engaged and eager to learn more about her writing process and the stories behind her beloved Sasquatch series. Her books have quickly become some of the most sought-after titles in our library, with long wait lists and enthusiastic readers across multiple grade levels.
Kate connected with students, sparking curiosity, laughter, and a genuine excitement for reading and storytelling. Our biggest Sasquatch fans were especially thrilled, and many students left the presentation inspired to start writing their own stories. Her visit made a lasting impact on our school community, and we are so grateful for the energy, creativity, and joy she brought to Olivia Park Elementary.”
—Donna Riviera, Librarian, Olivia Park Elementary

I work with local bookstores to facilitate book orders in advance of the visits. I do try to have all the books signed and labeled for the students who have pre-purchased.

School visits are a fun and entertaining way to engage the next generation of readers and writers. The presentation covers topics like cryptids, the qualities of a good friend and teammate, leadership skills, respect for the environment, storytelling, and my personal journey as an author, including where I got my inspiration for the Sasquatch Hunters series. I usually try to incorporate an interactive element depending on the size of the group, as well as leaving plenty of time for Q&A. I believe that one of the greatest gifts we can give children is the opportunity to feel seen and heard.

I do prefer to have access to some sort of overhead projector if possible.
