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:

And that is what school should be about: creating powerful, memorable, emotional learning experiences that our children carry with them for a lifetime.”

Through the story of adventure, I am able to showcase how great life is when you have confidence about who you are. The more we learn how to talk nice to ourselves ABOUT ourselves, the happier we will eventually become.
