Canadian author readings via Skype: Laurel Snyder
Laurel will be doing a bunch of free author skypes, as a sort of "book tour" for her new novel, Bigger than a Bread Box. Ideally these would be 5th-7th grade classes. Half hour visits, with a short reading and author talk, and a chance for the kids to ask anything they wanted. Generally, she follows up with kids, after, via email... assuming it's approved by the parents/teacher. She arranges her schedule, for the most part, around class schedules.
