INQUIRIES about having a school, library, or bookstore presentation, please email me at dohertybooks@att.net

I live in Schererville, IN.

For preschoolers or kindergarteners

My 30-minute presentation is educational, motivational, and entertaining…including a few magic tricks!  I’ll read aloud DON’T FEED THE BEAR. Kids will have fun acting out parts of the story.

I’ll discuss:

  • The parts of a book
  • The jobs of an author and illustrator
  • The difference between a story and informational text 
  • The problem, solution, setting, and message of the story
  • How the characters are alike…and different
  • The author’s purpose and word choice
  • What makes a good story

I’ll get kids excited about writing by brainstorming ideas.

Afterwards, I’ll sign books.
