School
and Library Visits - Ann Louise Ramsey
Colorado
Author and Illustrator of Children's
Picture Books
Share
a Cocker Spaniel named Honey's delightful journey of self-discovery
in Ann Louise Ramsey's magical children's picture book Just Be You
Winner
2009 EVVY Award (Colorado Independent Publishers Association)
My
author / illustrator visits begin
with Power Point presentations of my children's picture
books, Me, the Tree and Just Be You, set
to music (which works great for all group sizes), followed by demonstrations
of how I illustrate with photography and created the illustrations
for my
books in Photoshop, along with discussions on writing poetry and the
self-publishing process.
An added delight for the kids is Honey, my Cocker Spaniel and the star
of my book Just Be You, who accompanies me
to school and library visits. Honey models her duck robe worn in Just
Be You and steals the
show every time!
Talks are modified accordingly for K-6th grades.
Presentations take about 45-50 minutes for 3-6 grades
and 20-25 minutes for K-2 grades. This includes Q&A and time
to pet Honey!
Discounts available for schools ordering and pre-paying for books ahead of the
event.
Fees: $100/hour plus mileage & lodging (if needed).
I will do single sessions close to home (less than 50 miles
away), but otherwise a minimum of 2 hours/day
plus mileage & lodging
(if needed) for out-of-town sessions.
If your budget is tight, consider sharing me with other
schools and libraries in your area. If I visit two schools,
you can divide everything in half.
Four schools, divide everything by four.
I am flexible and willing to work with your schedule and/or budget,
so if interested, please call or email me with
your ideas. If finances are a problem, please let me
know your situation.
The universal theme of honoring one’s individuality is
reflected in my books, Me, the Tree and Just
Be You.
In this day and age, I feel it's especially important for children to develop
healthy self-esteem by loving and honoring themselves for the unique individuals
that they are, so I’m happy to do whatever
I can to make a school visit possible.
Sincerely,
Ann & Honey
