ADVICE FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES

ADVICE FOR KIDS

While this might seem like simple advice for kids of all ages, I believe it can be an ideal we all can live by.  As the world continues to quicken at an alarming pace, we must always remember that the friendships we have today are the memories we’ll cherish tomorrow.

Going a bit further with this thought, I believe the only thing that matters in life is how deeply we can not only FEEL and accept our feelings of love for ourselves and others, but how deeply we can open up and share those feelings with the rest of the world…no matter who they are. Read more

SUNSHINE STATE READING LIST

Sunshine State Reading ListSUNSHINE STATE READING LIST

Please suggest SALTWATER TAFFY to the Sunshine Reader list.  After visiting Water’s Edge Elementary School in Boca Raton Florida, we were flooded with emails asking if Saltwater Taffy is a Sunshine Reader title.

I knew we were an Accelerated Reader title, but I hadn’t heard of the Sunshine Readers List.  In order to get onto the list, we need to be suggested to the committee.  As with everything concerning Saltwater Taffy, all we have to do is raise awareness surrounding the book and the rest takes care of itself.

So, with that…please take literally two seconds and CLICK HERE and write:  Saltwater Taffy by Eric DelaBarre, then check the 4 boxes to let them know we are in North America, the book is publishes after 2010, etc.  You don’t have to leave your email address or phone number or anything…all the want you to do is tell them about a new book.  Tell them about the SAWEET adventure novel Saltwater Taffy and we’ll be your friends for life!

We thank you for your continued support in making Saltwater Taffy an international best selling Children’s book.

 

LIT JAM Susanville

Author visitsLIT JAM Susanville

2013 Lit Jam Susanville was yet another amazing author visit for Saltwater Taffy.  We sold out every book they hand in the Lit Jam bookstore as well as 2 additional boxes of special orders.

With over 500 kids and parents in attendance for the main event, LIT JAM Susanville was a huge success for Lassen County’s Education Department.  James D. Hall was an amazing leader and an inspiration to the kids in his district.

DSC_0042_7After 3 different all school assemblies in two days, I have to admit I was beginning to run on empty, but when you have a mic, 500 kids and your book the center of attention, you find the energy to carry on.  I am looking forward to a return to Lassen County as other elementary schools in the area have requested a Saltwater Taffy visit.  Yes, this is a good problem to have on the road to becoming a best selling children’s book.  I have been on the road for over two years, touring with Saltwater Taffy and I have to admit, this recent trip to the LIT JAM Susanville has to be one of my favorite stops of all.  The kids, teachers, and parents were amazing!

AUTHOR VISITS TO SCHOOLS

The author visits to schools continue as we were in front of 575 kids in the last two days in Susanville, California.  We’re in town for the Lassen County LIT JAM Festival and have a total of 4 school visits in three days!  Talk about a working author.  Two more assemblies to go then it’s the Lassen County Lit Jam Festival at Diamond View Elementary School.  You can order Saltwater Taffy from your local bookstore, Amazon, Barnes & Noble or right here on Saltwater Taffy’s website.  The cool thing about ordering from the website is that Eric DelaBarre will personally sign your copy of the award-winning adventure novel, Saltwater Taffy.
