Books available
Cordelia
Cordelia can fly.
Over the ocean, up with the birds,
wherever she wants to go, she does.
It’s her favorite thing.
It’s what makes her happy.
It’s what makes her who she is.
Until one day, she hears the whispers:
People can’t fly. It’s impossible.
And suddenly, Cordelia can’t.
A modern-day fable about believing in yourself
and your dreams – and flying wherever you want to go.
Jonathan James and the Whatif Monster
Whenever Jonathan James finds himself in a new situation, he hears his Whatif Monster asking all kind of questions to stop him trying something new: What if it’s scary? What if they laugh? What if it’s hard? Finally, Jonathan James has some questions of his own: What if they don’t? What if it isn’t? What then?
Bob is a Unicorn
Bob is not a unicorn. His friend George knows that. So does Stella. And Ted, and Larry.
In fact, it’s definite: Bob is not a unicorn.
Or is he?
Bob is a Unicorn, by beloved author Michelle Nelson-Schmidt, celebrates both the power of imagination and the importance of always – no matter what anyone else says - believing in yourself.
Dog and Mouse
“Sometimes the thing that you just cannot see is right in front of you, clear as can be.” From beloved author/illustrator Michelle Nelson-Schmidt comes a wonderful read-aloud rhyming tale about finding and being a friend – whoever you are, wherever you are.
Dogs, Dogs!
Dogs, dogs are everywhere.
Look at all the dogs out there!
Little, sad, pretty lazy, fast, dirty - there are as many different kinds of dogs as there are kinds of kids! Which one are you like? Check the mirror in the back of the book to see. Are you shaggy? Stubborn? Or just doggone happy to have a new dog book to share?
Cats, Cats!
Cats, cats, are everywhere.
Look at all the cats out there!
Which kind of cat are you? Fluffy, nosy, timid or big? Check the mirror in the back of the book to find your feline face! Are you sleepy, brave or sneaky? There's a "purrfect" adjective for everyone!
Detailed information:
Michelle's presentation is 45 minutes long. This gives her 40 minutes to present and 5 minutes for questions. She needs all 45 minutes and MUST have 15 minutes in between presentations. Please do not shorten any part of this. It will not work. She needs children in the room at the time she is supposed to begin talking, not on their way to the presentation. The timing of this is very important.
Even older students (6th-8th grades) enjoy seeing Michelle and they have such profound take-aways, so please consider including them for your author visit.
There are activities that I will share with you to generate excitement prior to the visit.
I look forward to working with you and your schools to bring this amazing author to speak with your students.
