  • Tessa curated a birthday gathering which celebrated my son’s two favorite activities: nature and books. Not only did she prepare a selection of books focused on the preservation of nature, but she also made suggestions for gifts/tools for the participants and led a nature walk. She had also on many occasions showed us how to create a story telling environment using everyday objects

    —Mary R.

  • "We were able to join a story telling at Book Nerd for Tales with Tessa and it was such a wonderful experience. Our son was so curious and fascinated by her reading and singing and activity. He was the youngest there and we can’t wait for more story time dates so that he can play and sing along with the other kids. Tessa knows how to make learning engaging and fun for all and we will continue to ensure we can join her activities as he grows older. "

    —Ashley T.

  • "Our five year old loved reading, playing, and singing along with Tessa! She made everyone (from littles to big kids) feel welcomed and included in the fun, helping grownups understand all the learning that was happening along the way. What a joy! Will definitely be back!"
