Sara Levine is awesome for that grade range. We hosted her pre-covid. Students, staff, and parents loved her presentation. Plus, it was great to have a female scientist since there are still not as many women in the sciences. Our district curriculum specialist attended and loved her presentation as well. Every school should host her. I want to have her back because she was so great. If you don't have her books, they are a must purchase.

Another bonus is that she didn't charge for a hotel as she stayed with family in CT. Not sure if that is still the case, but it was a great savings.

I agree with David Biedrzycki! We've also had Brian Lies. He was excellent.

We had David Biedrzycki come to out K-5 school and all the kids loved him! He does a great presentation about creating the art and the ideas behind his stories. He was out last author visit pre-Covid, we haven't had anyone since, but the kids still talk about him! He's in MA.

K-2 author visit

Hello,

I am looking to book an author/illustrator for an author visit this spring.  Can you provide some recommendations for a K-2 audience?  Maybe someone more local as my budget is limited.

Thanks so much.

Kerry
