"The students and staff of the AWTY International School cannot stop talking about the visit of Joe Reese. Mr. Reese was able to capture the attention and excite the imagination of our third, fourth, and fifth graders. The day was a total success and every kid wanted to own and read Letters from a Farm Girl. We are making plans to invite Mr. Reese next school year for the presentation of his new book and for his writing workshop."

Librarian, AWTY School of Houston

"Thank you so much for bringing your stories of Katie Dee to our students. They love hearing about her life on the farm and are still talking about the possum story you so vividly shared with them. You were great!"

"Joe, you are a fabulous author! Thank you for inspiring us to use our creativity and for giving us a desire to enrich the writing process for our students.
Fondly,

The Entire Etaff of Immaculate Conception School"

"Joe Reese spent a wonderfully entertaining and informative day with our students! His talents as a storyteller kept the children spellbound as well as his straightforward, honest answers to the students' questions. The ultimate compliment was paid to Mr. Reese by one of our fifth graders when he said, 'Mr. Reese has inspired me to become a writer.'"

"The kids were glued to Mr. Reese as he wove his tale of opossum shenanigans. The opportunity for the kids to ask questions of Mr. Reese was wonderful... We will definitely invite Mr. Reese again."
