Children's Author / Storyteller / Bilingual Presenter
matthew WELCOME! ¡Bienvenido! ようこそ!Here you can find out about my books and speaking events. I have a passion for encouraging young people to read. As you see, I'm not overly shy about getting students' attention. I combine storytelling, drumming with reading and writing insights, all while communicating in the four languages I speak: English, Spanish, Japanese--and jazz. "Language, rhythm, color, life!"™ (Whatever it takes to engage K-6th grade kids.)

Here's my latest book with audio, Jazz Fly 3: The Caribbean Sea

“As fun to read as it is to listen to, Jazz Fly 3 is truly magnifique.”   –Foreword Reviews     ISBN: 978-1889910-543, $18.95
