A lot goes into planning a good school visit where teachers get excited about the event, and students actually become inspired to write their own books and stories. They realize that the author is a REAL person behind those "informational" picture books they had been having fun reading and learning from over the past few weeks.
Recently I did an author visit at a Florida school that is every children’s author's “dream.”
From the sign on the marquis in the parking lot welcoming me, and the special parking lot space right near the office where I checked in, to the many varied and amazing projects students created using my books, to the presentations where kids and teachers were actively involved, to autographing and talking about books and writing with many students in the cheerful media center, to walking out at the end of the day to my special "parking place" with the terrific media specialist, who was with me the entire day, I can’t say enough about this special visit. It was such a pleasure to "entertain, involve and inform” all of you at Clay Springs Elementary School in Apopka, Florida. You are the BEST!
