Teacher Praise:
Here is what media specialist Terry Sestrich of Buckeye Valley West Elementary School
had to say:
“Buckeye Valley West Elementary hosted author, Nancy Roe Pimm in May 2009. Students and
staff found her presentation very engaging as well as educational. Nancy's nonfiction books
Indy 500:The Inside Track and The Heart of the Beast: Eight Great Gorilla Stories proved to
be of great interest to all students from Kindergarten through Fifth grade. We would
definitely recommend Nancy Roe Pimm to anyone looking to share the book writing
experience with their students. We look forward to future books by Mrs. Pimm!"

"Nancy Roe Pimm presented a lively, informative, and interactive program for our 6th, 7th,
and 8th Graders making connections to several areas of the curriculum including: Reading,
Language Arts. Science, and Math! The "Hands On" items that she shared were a huge hit!
Our students are still talking about her visit!"
Amy Sines- Literacy Coordinator, Fairbanks Elementary-2009
Nancy was wonderful to have at our school. The kids loved seeing
the real live pit trash and being able to hear the sounds of the
gorilla's. She did a great job of interacting with the kids when
they created their own story following the criteria she uses when
writing her own stories.

Nancy did wonderful presentations with all the students ingrades K-5. She brought several racing artifacts which were of greatinterest to the students. These items made her book seem real to them.The younger ones liked it best
when they got to touch the tire :-)We all enjoyed hearing about Colo
since she was born in our ownColumbus Zoo. I would recommend Nancy
to any school!

I have to tell you what a terrific presentation of your books
you provided for my second grade class. My students loved it!
The presentation was lively and interesting. Your added sense of
humor and knowledge of racing really helped the children's enjoyment
and learning experience. Allowing the students to actually see and
touch your husband's racing gear was a really wonderful addition to
the presentation. It allowed the students to imagine themselves at
an actual race track. My entire grade level cannot wait for your
next book to come out and for you to present it to our school.
Hope you come back again soon! Thank you again!

Just a couple of weeks ago I had a fantastic author visit program from Nancy Roe Pimm. She wrote the
children's book "Indy 500: the Inside Track". Her husband is a former Indy 500 race car driver. She made
an excellent presentation to an audience of children and adults. Even though she isn't "famous" yet,
her book subject is interesting to children and adults, especially here in the Hoosier state. She brought
many artifacts to share with the audience (a driver's seat, pit crew uniform, shoes, face mask, etc.)
which helped personalize the presentation. For school visits, she talks about how she started to write
stories and shows the first book she wrote and illustrated at age 10. She lives near Columbus, Ohio,
so transportation wouldn't be a big issue.
I highly recommend her!

"Mrs. Pimm did an excellent job of engaging and interacting with the
students. What an exciting topic to 'steer' the kids in reading non-fiction and in the
writing process."

"Mrs. Pimm gave a lively and engaging presentation. Her visuals were a hit with the students.
My class has a renewed enthusiasm for writing."
Coralea Collins--Second Grade Teacher Olentangy School DistrictMy second graders thoroughly enjoyed interating and listening to Mrs. Pimm's presentation. The real racing artifacts
and great slide show entertained the students the entire time! They are still talking about Mrs. Pimm's
visit months later! Thank you for a racing good time!!
