[CASL-L] Visiting Author Suggestions K2

[Bjorklund, Bev]

We have had a number of very successful author visits over the past few
years.  All cost in the $1100-1500 range plus hotel cost.
Steve Swinburne - Vermont  Primarily non fiction (all ages) but some
picture books.  Science based and he plays the ukulele
Lita Judge -  New Hampshire  Fiction and nonfiction (all ages); excellent,
engaging presentations on lots of different topics.
Marty Kelley - New Hampshire  Great presenter, very engaging, very funny
kept all the kids (K-4) engaged
Melissa Stewart - Massachusetts Excellent science books.  Low key but LOTS
of information and involvement (readers theater)
Elise Broach - Connecticut Primarily chapter books with a few picture
books  Very interesting

I consider Steve, Lita, and Marty personal friends so please let them know
I recommended them for a school visit.

Hope that helps!
