Student Workshops

Do you have a small group of young creatives with interests in writing, editing, illustration or graphic design? We can set up a special author-illustrator workshop!

"Author Teresa Adamo and illustrator Jennifer Williams-Cordova have created a wonderful "Indy, Oh Indy" book presentation that is engaging and highly informative. I can't wait to invite Teresa and Jennifer back to our school so they can share about Indy's newest adventures."

Katie Wiebe, Librarian, Grow Academy Shafter

"Congratulations to Teresa Adamo and Jennifer Williams-Cordova for their Indy books. As a grandmother and retired teacher, I have shared Indy’s adventures with many children. Teresa and Jennifer show their passion for animals, especially sheltered animals, and Bakersfield, through a lovable little dog."

Mary Jane Black

"The Indy, Oh Indy series of books are a must-have for the little ones in your life! Sweet stories and beautiful illustrations of the places where we live and play!"

Jane Couperus

“At our school assembly, the authors keep the students on the edge of their seats just so they can find out what mischief Indy will get into next.”

Debbie Pappe

“A cute rescue pup visits all our favorite local places ... Love sharing these fun books with all ages!”

Becky Pendley

“‘Indy, Oh Indy: Wanderin’ the Streets of Bakersfield’ is a delightful work with the clever way Teresa and Jen weave uniquely Bakersfield highlights into the joy of a rescued shelter dog exploring those places. The rhyming text also makes it so accessible, especially to younger children.“

Liz Keogh

“I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Teresa Adamo and Jennifer Williams-Cardova at school assemblies. Not only do they read the book, but they share how they came to write and illustrate the books. They have an amazing multimedia presentation that educates the students of local history, both current and long ago.“

Pam Hornbuckle

“... With the ‘Potty Like a Princess’ book, something just seemed to click! She’s taking the book to the bathroom every time ... it’s working like a charm!”
