AUTHOR VISITS FOR 2011-2012

Road trip Mars!
FROM INNER PLACE TO OUTER SPACE: THE ART-SCIENCE CONNECTION IN WORDS AND IMAGES
Combining images and words from several of my books that explore both the microscopic world and outer space, we'll view fabulous photographs while learning about the writing process, from inspiration to publication. During this interactive presentation, students are inspired to think creatively while playing "The Analogy Game," an exciting challenge of looking closely, thinking outside the box, and forming analogies--key skills on which both scientists and writers rely.

I am experienced in a variety of school visit formats including large audience presentations, small group writing workshops, or a program that combines both. I have written books for all age groups, from pre-school through young adult and will visit any or all of your grades. The youngest students love my "Story Time Presentation," which explores numbers and word opposites using my picture book ONE TRACTOR.
Please contact me to discuss how we can work together to create an author visit that will inspire the writer and reader in each of your students.

Hello! I teach 3rd grade in a K-8 charter school near Thornton, CO. We are having a Literacy Night on August 25 and would be honored if you would consider coming for a few minutes to share your books and photograph, to present to parents and/or kids, or just sit and meet & greet families. Please contact me if this might be a possibility for you. Thank you so much! Heathre Palige HPalige@bellecreekcs.org

Thanks for coming to my school. I loved your pictures.
