Schedule me for your school event! Right now, I am offering a limited number of virtual and in-person visits for the school year, due to my writing and illustrating schedule. But I’d love to find a time to visit your school.
I am an author-illustrator and mother of two elementary school students. I am happy to work with you to tailor the visit length, format, and content to address the needs and interests of your organization. Whether it’s a handful or a school full, I share my knowledge of writing and illustration to engage and entertain.

Getting teachers and students excited for the visit before the big day is key to a successful visit. Sharing a behind the scenes video from my Youtube channel might help increase the buzz.
Feedback From Presentations
“Madison Elementary was thrilled to welcome back Natasha Khan Kazi for an author visit for our students to learn about her new book, Lulu. From the moment the students entered, they were captivated by her energy, humor and genuine desire to share her journey. Natasha kept the children engaged throughout her entire presentation – they listened, laughed and even danced! It was truly special to hear Natasha share her story of becoming an author and illustrator – and very encouraging to everyone in the audience. Not only is Natasha an incredibly talented author and illustrator, she has a unique ability to connect with children in a meaningful and fun way! We cannot wait to have her back to hear all about the next book!” – Becca Lipman, PTA Student Programs Chair
“In my teaching career I have seen OK presentations and outstanding presentations, and your presentation was AMAZING!”
“Your preschool-kinder presentation was wonderful! You had their attention the whole time. They were so engaged.”
“As an adult, even I feel inspired!”
“I loved that you talked to 3rd-5th about mistakes being opportunities. It is something they struggle with and your personal stories really resonated with them.”
“Several of our teachers mentioned that your author visit was the best we have had at the school! Our students loved spending time with you.”
