Hello! I’m Millie Florence, I published my first book, Honey Butter, when I was thirteen years old, and I haven’t stopped since! I’ve gone on to publish multiple books and tour the country to speak about them. My books are whimsical middle grade novels with big hearts, and perfect for advanced young readers or a group read-aloud. I present at libraries, schools, book clubs, homeschool co-ops, and conferences both in-person and online. I aim to inspire kids to chase their dreams and find excitement in reading and storytelling! I can provide unique value for your kids because I WAS a kid when I started this career! Main Presentation: Sparks of Inspiration Ages 9-14 30 to 45 minutes I tell my origin story of publishing at age thirteen, detail my creative process, and explain how to find inspiration. I encourage kids to be creative and motivate them to chase their dreams. Younger Presentation: Playing with Words Ages 5-8 20 to 30 minutes Students will learn the power of words and the pictures they paint in their minds. We’ll read an excerpt from my novella Honey Butter and play several games based on it with poetry and paint cards. Unlocking Creativity: Ages 9-14 1 hour A fun, hands-on experience, students will embark on a quest to defeat doubts, explore imagination, and discover the treasure of creativity. We’ll learn how to banish our inner editor, write stories as short as six words, or as long as a page, create mind-bending metaphors, and more! Read Aloud + Q&A: All ages 10+ Minutes. It depends on the number of questions I receive. I’ll introduce myself, read an excerpt from one of my books, and take questions afterward. I take reading aloud pretty seriously, so expect some dramatization and character voices.
