Along the way Doug \u201ctransports his listeners back into the fabric of Nature<\/em>\u201d (1) and \u201creminds us of our unity with all of life<\/em>.\u201d (2) Doug\u2019s most popular program for general school assemblies, (K-6) EarthSongs, EarthStories<\/strong> is also a perfect adjunct to any environmental education unit or event.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Writer\u2019s Path: Motivation, Perspiration, Inspiration<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The path begins with a young boy who was the poorest reader in his class and who hated school. It winds through the woods and waters of the North, through a growing love affair with nature, and finally with books as well. Doug recounts particular authors and experiences that had a profound effect on his life and career, and describes the long and difficult journey towards becoming a published author. As with any good journey there are highs and lows, doubts to overcome and dreams to realize. An excellent presentation for reading, writing, and literacy programs, for teachers and students alike. Questions from an audience or class are always encouraged.<\/span><\/p>\n

The program is designed to empower students and teachers to pursue their own dreams and goals, including writing, and to emphasize the power and importance of reading.<\/span><\/p>\n

Miss Little\u2019s Gift: A Poor Reader\u2019s Story<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

This inspirational program is based on Doug\u2019s book recognized by the Smithsonian Institute. <\/span>\u00a0Douglas was the worst reader in his class, contending with ADHD and dyslexia before anyone knew what those were. But he was lucky to have a special teacher who gave him the gift of books. Decades later, Miss Little is still giving, touching lives through Doug\u2019s books and programs. Motivation for students and teachers alike, this message is about not giving up, overcoming challenges, and the vital importance of reading.<\/span><\/p>\n
