Hi Laura,
Last year, we had David Biedrzycki visit. He was very funny and engaging. He did a demonstration of his illustration done on his computer.students are still looking for and checking out his books. The kids and teachers loved him...and are still requesting his books.
We were fortunate to have Juana Martinez-Neal visit earlier this year. She gave several lovely and informative presentations, drew for the students and had lunch with a small group. Again, her books are still in demand.
Thanks for the question. I really love to hear how author visits have gone at other schools.
Best wishes,
Gail
