A Magical Day in the Classroom
When Anna Zumwalt came to my classroom to share her On Our Way book, the energy completely transformed.
The kids were lit up—laughing, volunteering, and connecting with the story in such a natural, joyful way. Anna didn’t just read; she brought the story to life. She invited students to act out scenes, share their thoughts, and be part of the experience. It was magical to watch how quickly they opened up and found their voices.

As a teacher, I’ve seen a lot of guest readers, but Anna’s visits were something special—part storytime, part heart lesson, and pure fun from start to finish. On Our Way is a beautiful tool for helping kids see themselves, express their emotions, and rediscover how wonderful learning can be.

About the Author
Anna Zumwalt is a Zen helper, strongwoman, step-mother, and lifelong lover of stories that heal and connect.
She created the On Our Way series to spark conversations between kids and grownups about kindness, courage, and what it means to be human. Her books are rooted in real-life wisdom—drawn from decades of teaching, listening, and laughing with children (and adults!) around the world.
When she’s not writing or drawing, you might find Anna lifting stones, guiding meditations, or connecting classrooms. Her work reminds us that peace, power, and playfulness can go hand in hand—and that even the smallest readers are already on their way.
