Bringing an author or illustrator face-to-face with a young person is an unforgetting experience for everyone. But we understand how hard it can be to pay for an author or illustrator to come into your institution or organization as much as you might like to have one.
Luckily, there are many creative ways to bring an author to your school, either in person or via a “virtual” visit. Below are some resources for you to review. We hope you find something that works!
