On Monday, November 12, 2012, school representatives will gather in the children’s section of the Toledo-Lucas County Main Library to participate in a lottery that determines which of these authors and illustrators will visit their school in the spring. For more information on the Author Selection Gala, click here.
As a part of its Authors School Visit program, Claireʼs Day connects authors and illustrators to local schools as a way to enhance students’ literary experience. These school visits include entertaining, experiential, educational presentations and storytelling that encourage students to use their imaginations, enjoy literature, and pursue reading as a regular activity. Since the authors and illustrators describe their creative writing process and the process of publishing a children’s book, students also get an understanding of how a book arrives completed in their hands.
Authors and illustrators participating in the Claire’s Day free family book festival include: Rhonda Gowler Greene, Lisa Wheeler, Marilyn Weymouth Seguin, Elizabeth Raum, Mark Crilley, Cinda Williams Chima, Bruce Langton, John Manders, Betsy Snyder, Kristin Wolden Nitz, and Valiska Gregory. Get to know each author and illustrator on our website.
See you at the Gala!
