Archive note: This article was published on July 21, 2026. It preserves the original preschool-visit account and resource links. Current programs, booking arrangements, resource availability and book counts may differ.
Led by Unicorn Jazz author Lisa Caprelli.
There is something truly special about sharing stories with young children in person. The original July 2026 account described a preschool visit in Orange County where children’s author Lisa Caprelli shared reading, music, imagination, and social-emotional learning through her colorful Unicorn Jazz book series.
The account described children gathering closely as Lisa read aloud, invited participation, and encouraged them to sing, move, laugh, and share their ideas. Interactive author visits help young learners connect with stories in a memorable way while building confidence, listening skills, creativity, and a love of books.
Lisa’s preschool and elementary school programs weave together storytelling, music, and age-appropriate social-emotional learning, also known as SEL. Themes such as kindness, belonging, friendship, empathy, courage, and celebrating differences give educators meaningful opportunities to continue the conversation after the visit.
The original article described Lisa as the author of 22 books in English and Spanish and highlighted her interest in joyful literacy experiences for diverse school communities. It described visits for preschool classrooms, elementary school assemblies, libraries, literacy celebrations, family nights, and special school events.
The article also pointed teachers to companion activities and educational resources to extend learning beyond the presentation. Check the linked resources for current availability and terms.
