AUTHOR VISITSAuthor visits can be some of the most rewarding moments as a children’s book author. You get one on one time with your readers and you never know, you just might change the life of a student before you leave the school.
If your School, PTA, Book Club, or School Library is looking for an exciting author visit, here is a glimpse into the style of Eric DelaBarre, the award-winning author of Saltwater Taffy, and how he talks to middle school students across the country.
Hear what Chimacum Middle School Principal said about Eric’s recent author visit:

Yeah, I know…it sounds a little WOO-WOO to think love could be the secret to how to stop a bully, but you never know until you try. I mean, could we ignite the hearts and minds of our children so much so that they can’t even recognize the impulse to bully another?
What started out as a book tour in support of Saltwater Taffy, where I have had the privilege of speaking to over 10,000 kids nationwide, the Saltwater Taffy Tour is not just another author trying to sell a book, but a movement of literacy and education, a movement of creativity and desire, and quite simply, Read more
