Recent Engagements
Windham Technical High School, Connecticut, USA
In January 2026, I was invited to share Mission to the Moon with students studying Astronomy at Windham Technical High School in Connecticut. The session was delivered online and included a reading of the book followed by a question-and-answer discussion.
The students asked thoughtful questions about the story, its inspiration and the process of creating and illustrating a children's picture book. It was a pleasure to share the project with a class already exploring astronomy and space science as part of their studies. Windham Technical High School offers Astronomy as part of its science programme, providing students with opportunities to explore our Solar System, stars, galaxies and the wider Universe.
Brighton College Pre-Prep School, Brighton, East Sussex, UK
In March 2026, I shared Mission to the Moon with pupils at Brighton College Pre-Prep School through a series of online sessions for Reception, Nursery and Year 1 classes lasted 45-minutes each. Google Meet was used during the sessions, and the children enjoyed a reading of the book, and took part in a creative Mission Patch activity inspired by the themes of space exploration, teamwork and discovery.
The pupils showed great enthusiasm throughout the sessions, asking questions and engaging with the story and its characters. As part of the programme, 62 copies of Mission to the Moon were personally signed and sent to the school for pupils, helping to create a lasting connection with the book and its message of curiosity, imagination and inclusion.
Silver Sands school, Fort Walton Beach, Florida, USA
In May 2026, Mission to the Moon was shared with students at Silver Sands School in Florida via an online Microsoft Teams session over 45-minutes. Silver Sands School provides educational services for children and young adults with a wide range of additional support needs and disabilities.
The 45-minute session involved two classes of older students. Wearing my Space Camp flight suit, I read Mission to the Moon and introduced a variety of space-themed props created to support the story and characters.
The Mission to the Moon song was also featured during the session, followed by an enthusiastic question-and-answer discussion. It was wonderful to share the story internationally and see the pupils' interest in space exploration, creativity and discovery.
Brighton College, Pre-prep Handcross, Sussex, UK
On Friday 9 October 2026, I shared Mission to the Moon with pupils at Brighton College Pre-Prep School Handcrosss through a series of online sessions for Reception, Year 1 & Year 2 classes. Google Meet was used during the 40-minute sessions, and the children enjoyed a reading of the book. They also took part in a creative Mission Patch activity inspired by the themes of space exploration, teamwork and discovery.
East Junior High School, Boise, Idaho, USA
On Tuesday 27 October 2026, I shared Mission to the Moon with Grade 8 students as part of their Earth Science class using Google Meet for their 45-minute session. The students benefitted from a reading of the book and prepared specific questions related to the book and how it related to the Earth Science curriculum. The time difference was 6 hours and the students learnt about space exploration, discovery and team work.
