CELEBRATE ARTHUR'S 35th ANNIVERSARY WITH A VISIT FROM MARC BROWN!
Beginning this fall and continuing through 2011, Marc Brown will be celebrating Arthur's 35th Anniversary by spending it with the kids who made Arthur a worldwide phenomenon.
"It all started with kids, teachers and librarians," said Brown. "And to celebrate, I am setting aside 35 days to visit schools around the country. This is something I have greatly missed."
MARC BROWN DESCRIBES A SCHOOL VISIT
"My goal is to excite kids about writing and illustrating their own stories. In my presentation I share how I write my stories and where my ideas AND CHARACTERS come from. I have designed a fun powerpoint that shows my home, studio, family, our farm animals and other things kids and teachers will appreciate. I include two books as well that I read with the images projected for everyone to easily see. I would ask that the schools provide a projector and screen that I can hook my laptop to and a microphone. I am very comfortable with large groups. I also like to have a large pad and sturdy easel to draw for the kids. All my drawings are given to the school."
HOW YOUR SCHOOL CAN JOIN THE PARTY
Marc Brown will travel anywhere in the United States to visit a group of 6-10 schools within a drivable area. He visits two schools per day. At each school he will do one presentation and autograph books if the school chooses. A visit lasts approximately three hours. Being mindful of school budgets, Marc Brown has reduced his speaking fee to $3500 per presentation. This one fee covers all expenses including travel and lodging.
If your school would like to offer books for sale. Little, Brown and Random House provide books for author signings at a savings of about 50%. All unsold books may be returned. Schools can sell books at full price as a fundraiser or pass along the savings.
