During her visit, children will have the chance to meet the author, enjoy captivating storytelling, and engage in meaningful discussions.
Each school or group will receive:

I am truly thrilled about the chance to meet your remarkable children and share some kindness!
We are thrilled to share that Christ Church had an amazing time hosting Author Eliza Allen, who came to talk about her mental health book, *One Branch at a Time*. The children thoroughly enjoyed her reading and were deeply engaged in discussions about the themes of the book. It was incredibly heartwarming to see everyone so enthusiastic!
We feel very honoured to have been Eliza’s first school visit, and we cannot wait for her next book to be released so we can invite her back to inspire our students once again.
Thank you for your support in nurturing our students love for reading and mental health awareness!
Eliza’s storytelling captivated our children and they loved meeting the characters from the story too. It helped our children understand a really ‘big’ emotion of sadness and Eliza followed this with teaching the children a strategy for how to help themselves when they are feeling sad.
Eliza also inspired our children about becoming an author and the skills they needed to practise to be able to follow this dream. Our children thoroughly enjoyed their visit and Eliza put extra effort into dedicating enough time to visit each of our classes individually. Thank you Eliza!
Eliza read her beautiful book, ‘One Branch At A Time’ which promotes positive mental health, friendship and wellbeing, and spent time with the children afterwards guiding them through some mindfulness and breathing exercises.
It was amazing to see the children so engaged, embracing the calming activities and joining in with real enthusiasm. It created such a peaceful and uplifting atmosphere — a truly special moment for everyone involved.
Thank you, Eliza, for such a thoughtful and inspiring visit
