[AISLE-Share] Author Visit - Michael Wayne

[Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators]

Good morning!

I am the K-12 district librarian for Sterling Public Schools and watched a
presentation of Michael Wayne at one of my K-2 schools. He isn't a very
dynamic presenter and I wouldn't recommend him for a whole-school
presentations (he had an hour-long presentation for five sections of
kindergarteners sitting on the gym floor...it did NOT go well). His stories
are cute, and his own story about creating the books is interesting, but he
is not a super dynamic presenter.  I think it'd be fun if he could visit a
classroom or two, but I wouldn't suggest an entire school presentation...

He is easy going and very pleasant, but he's soft spoken and very gentle,
which doesn't necessarily command a presence in front of a large group of
small kiddos!

Good luck!
