TESTIMONIALS

Ms. Hamner’s visit was nothing short of magical. Her storytelling captivated our students and sparked meaningful conversations that extended far beyond the classroom. She brings warmth, wisdom, and a genuine passion for inspiring young minds. I wholeheartedly recommend her to any school looking to enrich their students’ learning and grow student confidence through the power of story. We’re looking forward to welcoming her back soon!

Mrs. Hamner presented her book Magic Ball of Light - Summer Camp with our K- 5 students at Montclair Elementary. The short, inspiring stories that Mrs. Hamner shared from her book were very beneficial for our students.

The students were engaged in the presentation and took away valuable assets from the Magic Ball of Light, including confidence, gratitude, and courage. The book's message aligned very well with our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) goals.

Mrs. Hamner was a pleasure to work with, and I recommend her presentation for elementary students.

Mrs. Hamner’s book event on March 22 nd ran very smoothly. The children were very engaged in the conversation, sharing their thoughts and asking questions, and were eager to learn more about the story and future books.

We are very grateful to Mrs. Hamner for sharing her book, Magic Ball of Light: Summer Camp, with the local community!

The Magic Ball of Light book came to us at just the right time. It tackled some of the issues our 9-year-old son was dealing with, giving us a helpful guide to work through them together. The stories were not only interesting but also very relevant, making it easier for us to connect with our son.

One of the best parts of the book was how it showed that every child has their own special light. This message really struck a chord with our son, helping him see his own strengths and potential. Knowing that the characters were based on real people made the book even more relatable and meaningful for him.

Thank you for creating such a timely and relevant resource. It has truly made a difference in our lives.

"I loved this book! Small, quick stories! It’ll keep the students interested. I liked that the kids had to come to their own conclusions and the adults weren’t completely guiding them!"
