Bev experienced bullying as a child.
So, she knows, firsthand how bullying can affect you, long term.
Because of this, and because she is determined to do everything she can to end bullying she is available to speak to a variety of groups.
Including:
- Schools
- Churches
- Libraries
- Scouts
- Families/grandparents
- Seniors
Bullying is serious, and not to be taken lightly. Therefore, Bev will speak to small and large groups. Her books can touch many age groups. She has several ways to share the stories of Great Gray.
Preschool through 2nd grade – Interactive play, movement, as well as reading the book.
Elementary – Focus on bullying experiences. “Have you ever been bullied?” “Have you ever bullied someone?” Discuss, how the book came to me in a dream. “Do you have dreams, you remember?”
Older groups – The backstory of Great Gray, Yoga.
All programs are interactive, and allow plenty of time for Q and A.

I first met Bev at a national Christian Education conference about 10 years ago. She was in seminary, and was just beginning an internship in Clinical Pastoral Counseling at a local hospital. Our friendship has grown over the years through shared interests and ministry. I have been pleased to be a part of her journey into pastoral ministry and ordination as a UCC pastor, her career as a local church pastor and then a hospice chaplain, and finally, as an author of her books about Great Gray. Her passion and dedication to her writing are commendable. Not only does her work reflect thought, sensitivity, and attention to individual differences, bullying, inclusion, and relationships, but she is attentive to customs and culture that is different from our own. In doing so she opens the door for introspection on situations that families are often confronted with in today’s world, and she has created a valuable tool through her storytelling for exploring these difficult situations with children.
Since Bev’s Great Gray series began, I have purchased each of her books and the plush toys that accompany them as annual Christmas gifts for friends and family members with young children. They give very positive reviews, recommendations, and have expressed sincere appreciation for the Great Gray stories. We all look forward to a continuation of her series!
