“As a speaker, Zach was engaging, creative, funny, and personable. He spoke to a wide-range of students from Kindergarten through 5th grade and his presentations were enjoyed by all, teachers and staff included! His readings of his books very interesting, as he included some fun inside-knowledge tidbits on each story, especially the background and ideas for his book The Not-So-Quiet Library. I would definitely recommend him as a speaker to schools!” — East Ward Elementary School, 2023
