The Saltwater Taffy Free Bookmarks for Kids program was created because we are tried of the budget cuts to school libraries.  Not sure why people think cutting funding to a school library is going to help things, because, in my opinion, it’s going to hurt more than it’s going to help. With that said, we are offering free bookmarks for kids.  While we would love to give 1000’s of bookmarks at a time, we are limited to a 200 bookmark gift for each elementary school.   Please leave your comment below and don’t forget to provide us with an address of your school!  Parents, if you would like some free bookmarks for your homeschooling kids, we can do that too!  Thank you for your interest in Saltwater Taffy and our Free Bookmarks for Kids program! Saltwater Taffy is a best selling adventure book for children and is available wherever books and eBooks are sold!  Get your copy today and watch your child fall in love with reading all over again!

All we ask is that you handle the postage fee.  Click the Paypal BUY NOW button and we’ll hook you up!

 

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!
