What People are saying

Our Grade 1 students (and the staff!) had a fantastic time with Tobey. Her stories are beautiful and are filled with positive messages about finding joy and believing in yourself. The activities she planned were engaging, hands-on, and meaningful. I highly recommend having her in your school!

My class loved working with Tobey! She had fun ideas planned and kept the kids entertained with her wonderful new books! Every class needs a Fuzzy Moon in their world!

What a sweet story! As a former elementary teacher and librarian, I cannot endorse this book more. Beautifully written and illustrated with a wonderful message. Now, as a new grandma, I cannot wait to read this to my granddaughter. Kudos to the author and illustrator for sharing such a treat with the world! -Fuzzy Moon

Tobey brought joy into our Grade 3 classroom and inspired the students to be authors each day. They left with a better understanding of the writing process, a willingness to make mistakes and changes, and a desire to share their writing with others. Tobey shared her book, Bee, with us, which led to the students excitedly creating positive messages for others. It was fun to spread the joy further.

Tobey came to our school for a book talk on "Fuzzy Moon." What a great book and presentation! Tobey really connected with the students and they loved her retelling of the story. Tobey shared some great resources connected to the story that teachers could use in their classrooms. Overall, highly recommend her as a presenter and all her books - as a former teacher, she is able to capture student attention quickly and her books have great messages on kindness, joy, and purpose!

Overall, The Joy Lab is a beautiful and inspiring children’s book that will surely become a favourite among young readers. I hope as many classrooms as possible are able to experience an author visit from Tobey to partake in her joyful and inspiring presentation. As an experienced school teacher, Tobey expertly navigated my classroom and had an instant connection with my students, making the message of finding joy even more powerful. I highly recommend this book and Tobey’s author visit to parents, educators, and anyone who wants to share the message of finding joy with children in their lives.
