Patrice uses her work to encourage children to recognize and tap into their own genius. Her first children’s book, Have You Thanked an Inventor Today, is an Amazon Best Seller and was acclaimed by Microsoft as a book that informs and inspires STEM. Her follow up book, Have You Thanked a KidVentor Today is another great STEM read that highlights some of the wonderful contributions of child inventors. Her book, I Am Because I Choose is an engaging SEL book that promotes self-accountability and good decision making.
