She prefers to work with small groups of children in grades kindergarten through five. Ideally, groups of one or two classes at a time allow adequate opportunity for discussion and questions. Each presentation lasts from 45 to 60 minutes. Half-day and weekly fees are negotiable. On request, Ms. Beatty will provide personal references and a list of recent school programs.
Some schools schedule a book signing in conjunction with the author visit.
The proceeds from the book sale help to fund the program. Most outstanding author presentation I've seen at this grade level. A very powerful and effective encounter with a real author. My students were very interested in the editing process as well as the content of the books. The author has a pleasant way of connecting with students.
