Armstrong speaks passionately about writing and climate science. She hooks her audience with the novel’s conflict and leaves them with tangible ways to positively impact the planet.

“Carolyn’s presentation was engaging for people of all ages! Young and old were excited and curious about the Arctic facts and photos she shared, as well as the clever way she brought us into the presentation based on her book characters. Weeks later, people are still talking about the impact of the presentation and how they are being eco-warriors in their homes and community.”

— Katie Nahrwold, educator and environmental community advocate

Carolyn’s presentation offered my students a glimpse into a real author’s experience. Most importantly, she connected her writing process with their writing process and demonstrated how to take action for a cause.
