Lillian and Rob have a wealth of experience in educational performance for children, and it shows. Not only are they engaging and fun, but they teach in such a way as to inspire love and appreciation for nature, something we desperately need to share with our children. It was wonderful to work with these like-minded people to help share our rich natural heritage with children. Melissa Fulton, Director of Operations - Nature NB
It is challenging for any presenter to engage such a wide age and interest range for 45-90 minutes, but Lillian and Rob managed to engage all learners with their songs, facts and connections. The feedback from our staff and students was positive and we would love to have them back at our school again. Gillian Campbell, Highland Park Elementary, Pitt Meadows
The teachers are always amazed at how engaged and entertained the children are and students leave humming a new tune or excited about learning new facts about their favorite (or new favorite) animal. I have always had positive feedback from the staff and students and one primary teacher said Rob and Lillian were the best and most relevant school performers she had seen.
