<div dir="ltr">Good morning!<div><br></div><div>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...</div><div><br></div><div>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!</div><div><br></div><div>Good luck!</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Oct 9, 2018 at 9:27 AM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">He is from Yorkville (Where my school is.

So far he has been super easy to work with and sent just the other day all 3 books and teacher resources, as well as flyers and order forms for his books to start getting kids ready for his visit. I can let you know how it goes! So far the kids are excited and love the books!</div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Tue, Oct 9, 2018 at 9:12 AM Email list for the Association of Illinois School Library Educators <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info" target="_blank">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

<p class="MsoNormal">Has anyone hosted Michael Wayne for an author visit? He is an Illinois author that I learned about from a direct mailing. He offers free visits to schools, but will send order forms for students to purchase books. He has written three
picture books: Snowman vs. You, Snowman vs. ABC & You, and Snowman vs. Your Scary Face.<u></u><u></u></p>
