One of the neatest things ever is to see a child’s eyes light up during a presentation, or laugh at the funny part of a story. Children, indeed, keep a person young.

Barbara, that means so much coming from you! I know you’re the author of “Class Act: Sell More Books Through School and Library Author Appearances,” so you really know what you’re talking about! Thanks for the kind words for Leonardo.

Thanks, Vivian. You’ve reminded me of something…I’ve done a lot of guest lecturers at colleges and those students have the same attitude — they love outside guests!

Mr. Ramirez is right on with all his delightful tips. As an author who has done over 325 appearances, I can say without a doubt that having fun, being yourself, and having passion for your story, as well as for helping kids learn will get you far.
Every time I visit a school, I leave with my heart having grown ten times in size knowing I had a positive impact on at least one child. It is such a great feeling!

I love his tips and agree with all of them. Wearing a funny hat when reading Dr. Seuss is such a great idea! I’ve also done many school programs and the kids absolutely LOVE having someone come in…just for them! Yes, of course, it is nice to sell the books…but Mr. Ramirez is correct…it is not about the books…it is about the kids.
