Session Leader Information

As a session leader, you should check in upon arrival and will be given a free book from the guest author as well as information for their session. Please plan on arriving 15 minutes prior to your session with students. Session leaders may rearrange the desks to allow each student to share his or her story with the group in a more collaborative manner. After students leave, please place desks back to their original positions. Session leaders may attend the guest author's presentation before or after their session. ​

Parent Information

Parents should plan on arriving 15-20 minutes early with their child. Please stay with your child for the duration of the morning (both the author's presentation and the student led session). 

Upon arrival, please find the adult in charge for your school. Signs are often held up to help you identify your school.

After the 2nd session, the guest author will sign books for students and parents. You may purchase many of the author's books throughout the morning sessions.
