School Book Readings

          Had a great time with the kids! They were very engaging and loved the story "Why Is There A Raisin In My Meatloaf?"  They also enjoyed the mini boxes of raisins that were handed out afterwards. What an awesome day it was! 

          Interested in doing a book reading at a local school.  First all you will need to be comfortable with speaking to a group of people as there may not just be kids in the room but some adults as well.  You have to engage the children.  Have fun.  Encourage dialogue or have a planned activity.  Keep it short!  Young kids get bored easily and have short attention spans.  Talk to the Principal and the teachers at the school to get permission for the event. You will need to be flexible and work within their busy time schedules.  If you are looking for some publicity maybe your local newspaper will cover the event. 

          The more exposure you and your book get the better your book sales will be.  Good luck.
