"Rick Anderson has an amazing talent that enables him to not only draw wonderful illustrations, but        to also convey to students in a way that is appropriate for students at each grade level how he does his  work.    Rick also uses humor as a tool to sustain interest.  He has a wonderful sense of humor which everyone enjoyed.  His presentation was well organized and flowed  smoothly.  He was very professional with both staff and students."

"Rick's  presentation was wonderful!  The children learned so much about what is involved in creating a book as well as the illustrating process.  I especially appreciated the way Rick included children with his presentation.  We love your alphabet book and look forward to your new one soon!
