SCHOOL VISITS
Yes! Nicky visits schools
Nicky absolutely loves visiting schools.
It is her favorite thing to do. It’s the ultimate highlight of being an author and illustrator.
Her presentation and delivery style is flexible, adaptable and able to suit any desired topic, location and audience. Her teaching skills enable her to read a group of children and engage them immediately, meeting the inclusive needs of all students.
She loves running art workshops with children, giving them the opportunity to stretch their self doubt when it comes to creativity and extend those children who love to draw. With a number of up-coming new books being released this year, she has a lot to share!
Book Week is a very busy month for Nicky so make sure you book as early as possible.

“This is the third time I have seen you present to our children Nicky, and all have been fabulous. Your passion for art and stories is contagious and the students come away inspired to create their own drawings. Looking forward to seeing your new book!”
~ Strathaird Primary School
“Nicky your enthusiasm for what you do was infectious and you have inspired the students to the point that they nearly all would like to be illustrators! Your drawing tips were great and the students genuinely felt proud of the work they did with you. It was terrific how you showed and explained the process and explained your illustrations.”
~ Maramba Primary School
“I thought your presentation was awesome! You were able to engage the students and the students loved your drawings. I loved the way you shared your personal experiences and showed your drawings. I highly recommend your workshop. I love your books and illustrations and the children loved them too. Thank you so much!”
~ Yuille Park Community College
“Just letting you know that our Books In Homes presentation today was AMAZING! The students (and teachers) loved the talk from Nicky Johnston – as well as her illustrations. She told our students about how much she loved the editing process when writing and drawing, which made the children stop and think that not only do you edit the written word, but as an artist you also have to edit and change your drawings to make them the perfect final copy. We feel so lucky to have such a great role model visit our school.”
