Program Description
Steve Metzger is the award-wining author of more than 80 children's books, including "The Way I Act" (Character Development), "Pluto Visits Earth" (Science), and "Yes, I Can Listen" (California Reading Association Honor Book). During his lively interactive presentations, Steve will: - Connect his books to attributes of mindfulness, including positively expressing feelings, making good decisions, kindness, confidence, resilience, and gratitude. - Discuss the importance of writing ("Lincoln and Grace") and developing "Voice," one of the six traits of writing ("Toto's Story"). - Show how a picture book is created--from idea to publication. - Introduce his brand-new, kid-friendly graphic-novel series, "The Bumble Brothers" -- perfect for reluctant readers. There will be time for a Q&A. Steve will personally sign all pre-ordered books during his visit. Every student who attends a presentation will receive a free bookmark. (www.stevemetzgerbooks.com.)
