Dear ABC blog subscribers,
Hello, and happy Autumn! We are in the full swing of the loveliest season of the year (in my opinion); the air is getting cool and crisp and the leaves are a shock of color. I wanted to write to you wearing my "other" hat...not my woolen one, but my "author hat."
While you might know me best as a children’s book editor, I am also a children’s book author. Last year Lonely Planet Kids published my MYTHS & LEGENDS OF THE WORLD, a fully-illustrated collection of 21 myth and legend retellings from all over the world: the Americas, Africa, Asia, Europe, Oceania, & the Arctic.
And for the first time ever, I am offering a virtual school workshop for students in grades 3 – 6! This 45-minute video chat-based event contains two myth readings, one short creative art project, and a Q&A session. Both book and event are suitable for students aged 8 – 12, and link academically to mythology and literature curriculum.
I’d love to tune in to a (virtual) classroom near you!
Click below to get in touch with me and find out more information about my school event. Please tell your local school’s teachers and librarians! I am available most school days/hours (UK and East-Coast US), and I can reach multiple classrooms and/or students at once, which is great value for any school.
