"Having Lara Porter visit Heathcote High School was such a delightful experience! As the illustrator of Running with Wings, she brought an incredible energy to her sessions that really captivated our students. It wasn't just her artistic skills that shone through; it was her warm and interactive approach that made everyone feel included and inspired.
Lara has a genuine knack for connecting with students, encouraging them to tap into their own creativity and storytelling abilities. The way she collaborated with author Sam Squiers to create a picture book that celebrates dreams, determination, and friendship was truly special. During her visit, she shared her journey as an illustrator in a way that really resonated with the kids.
Her passion for what she does was infectious, and she made it more than just a workshop—it was inspiring. Lara's visit truly enriched our school community and left a lasting impression on both students and staff. I can’t recommend her highly enough for any school or program looking to inspire young minds through art and storytelling!"
