What happens during a school visit?

Each visit is tailored to a particular school and age group. For example:

• Preschool and early elementary groups enjoy a lively reading of one or more Bean books
• Presentations to late elementary and middle school students may include a discussion of the writing, illustration and publication process
• High school and college students are often interested in the marketing and social media aspects of independent publishing

We’ll work with you to provide the right content for your group, based on your curriculum and student interests.

How many students can participate?

Story-time events work best with small groups (15 students or less). That way, everyone can hear and see the illustrations. However, we can also do readings and talks for larger groups with appropriate sound amplification and video projection.

If scheduling allows, we’re happy to repeat our presentation for multiple small classes or groups.

Is my school in your area?

Ann’s home base is Clarksburg, Maryland, which is a suburb of Washington, DC. She regularly travels throughout Maryland, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, West Virginia, Virginia, and the District of Columbia. She will consider requests for visits in other locations if multiple events can be arranged.

Do you have a fee?

We do not charge a fee for school visits at this time.

What can we expect before the visit?

Once the details of your visit are confirmed, we’ll send you a pre-order form to distribute to your students. The pre-order form will include information about the event and will allow students or parents to order books for delivery on the day of the event.

We ask that you collect the pre-order forms and payments and provide us with a final order count two weeks before your event. Books ordered after this date cannot be guaranteed.

If our presentation requires video projection, we will provide a PowerPoint presentation in advance.

What can we expect on the day of your visit?

Ann will arrive approximately 30 minutes before the first presentation so she can meet the staff and get acclimated.

She will come bearing the books your students ordered, packaged and organized by name and/or teacher. It will be up to you to distribute the books to students following the event. Payment for pre-ordered books is required on the day of the event.

We will also provide you with postcards to send home with students in case they’d like to order more books after our visit.

Sounds awesome! How do we sign up?
