Sherri Rinker, author of Goodnight, Goodnight, Contruction Site and other books, is a great presenter and is local. She recently wrote Big Machines, a biography of Virginia Lee Burton, author of Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel. I had her as a free visit through Anderson's. I don't know what she charges. She wonderful to work with. I have had her twice. The teachers thought she was one of the best presenters we have had. I have only had her for K-3.

I second the recommendation of Candace Fleming. Any grade level can have her, though middle school. She connects with students of all ages. She focused on her nonfiction book Giant Squid for 4th and 5th and talked about how she does research.

Hello!  I am seeking author visit suggestions for my K-2 school for next fall.  I am also interested in sharing the visit with other school districts.

In recent years, we have hosted Candace Fleming (fabulous-fiction), Suzanne Slade (excellent-informational), and Jarrett Krosoczka (great-illustrator and author).

Thank you in advance,
