We had Candace Fleming at our district last year. She spoke at 3 buildings, K-1, 2-4 and 5-8. She was fantastic. Each presentation was geared for that age group and she has books that reach them all. She also did a family night while she was here. Message me if you would like more information.

Kim,

If it helps, the Illinois Reading Council gives the Prairie State Award for Excellence in Writing for Children to an Illinois Children’s/young adult author whose body of work demonstrates excellence, engenders a love of literature, and embraces the promotion of lifelong literacy. One part of the selection process for the Prairie State Award nominees is contacting the school/library references to verify the nominated authors connect well with their audience and are pleasant to work with. The Illinois authors who have received this prestigious award are:

2005 – Jamie Gilson
2006 – Candace Fleming
2007 – Ilene Cooper
2008 – Sally Walker
2009 – Jim Aylesworth

Hi,

Looking for suggestions/info on your favorite author visits.  We are looking for someone geared K-5 or possibly 2 different authors.  One K-2 the other more 3rd-5th.  My school recently had Aaron Reynolds and it was a big hit.

Thanks!
