Author Visit with Amy Brummit

Featuring Maggie: The Life of a Little Girl in Ghana, Africa

Bring the world into your classroom, library, or community with an engaging author visit based on the children’s book Maggie: The Life of a Little Girl in Ghana, Africa.

📘 About the Book:

Maggie is a heartwarming story that follows a day in the life of a spirited little girl living in Ghana. Through vivid scenes and gentle storytelling, readers discover the joy, resilience, and cultural richness of Maggie’s world and how similar we all are, no matter where we live.

✨ What the Visit Includes:

I offer engaging presentations for school assemblies, classroom visits, or library programs, where I share the real story behind Maggie and her experiences growing up in Ghana. Through storytelling, photographs, and discussion, students gain a deeper understanding of daily life in another part of the world while also exploring important themes like:

  • Empathy and resilience

  • Curiosity about different cultures

  • Global citizenship and awareness

  • The writing and publishing process

Each visit is tailored to the age group and setting, with plenty of time for interaction and questions.

Optional Add-Ons:

  • Interactive map and vocabulary activity

  • Writing or storytelling workshop

  • Signed copies available for purchase or pre-order (the book is available at a discounted rate of $10.00 when purchased in conjunction with an Author Visit)
