What Others Say About Stories By Hand:

"I wanted to let you know how much I appreciated your presentation
here. You were extremely professional, and you adapted easily to last
minute changes. I thought that you were excellent in both your
teaching and entertainment skills. It is no small thing to maintain a
gentle authority over more than 100 young kids but you were able to
do so masterfully. I think we all learned something about ASL even
though it seemed as though we were just having fun."
--LeRoy Allen, Prince Georges County Memorial Library System,
Spauldings Branch

"Kathy really engages preschool audiences well. My child is an
extremely energetic 4.5 year old, and she really held his attention.
Learning the signs was such a tangible accomplishment for him that not
only was it fun, but he felt great about doing it and sharing it with
others. We still use many of the signs we learned."
-- Sara, a mom from Woodbine, MD

"Every year for my daughter's birthday I generally have a large birthday
party inviting all her classmates and some other friends. For Daphne's
5th birthday party I knew the children were ready for some serious fun
and I was fortunate to find Kathy MacMillan. On the day of the party I
had so many things to think about that I was so thankful that Kathy was
punctual, well-prepared but most importantly the kids and the adults
had a blast! It definitely made the party one that will be well-
remembered by all. I still get compliments and highly recommend
Kathy to my friends."
--Alexis Williams, Woodstock, MD

"Thank you very much for your entertaining and informative
performance. I think the kids really enjoyed how interactive and
"hands-on" it was. My daughter retold the whole thing at the dinner
table tonight!"
--Melody Dean Mudd, White Marsh Elementary School PTA

“Thank you so much for your spirited and entertaining sign language
program...you managed to hold the attention of a very rambunctious
group of 80+ with a combination of positive reinforcement, good
humor, and solid information.”
--Selma Levi,
Enoch Pratt Free Library, Baltimore, MD

“Thank you so much for coming to our branches to
perform your program, ‘Once Upon a Sign.’ Your
audiences were entranced with your stories and your
signing ability.”
--Hope Chase,
Howard County (MD) Library

“Kathy kept the audience entertained during a fun and
informative program. The kids had a great time acting as
participants in a story told in sign. Even the adults left
with knowledge of some signs they can use."
–Julie Dietzel-Glair,
Frederick County (MD) Public Libraries
