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:
“I loved watching my students shower Eric with their love. The excitement and engagement levels were through the roof — I have no doubt that every child in that auditorium will remember the day Eric DelaBarre came to Chimacum. And that is what school should be about: creating powerful, memorable, emotional learning experiences that our children carry with them for a lifetime.”
