We have an amazing line-up of children’s picture book authors and illustrators, both in English and Chinese to choose from, covering Kindergarten to Primary 6 students. We have locally based authors for live visits, and overseas speakers for virtual visits too.
We know that meeting an author/illustrator in real life and hearing them convey their passion for their work, can fundamentally alter a child’s relationship to books while also inspiring educators to think about how to teach reading more creatively.

Whether you would like to plan a FACE-TO-FACE or VIRTUAL event, plan early. It’s good to remember: Authors don’t do school visits; schools do author visits. It’s all about preparation and building excitement for the children – by the time the visit day comes around, the kids feel like the author is a rock star!
Step 1: Give us a call or send us an email briefly explaining what you are looking for. Include language preference, age groups and what dates you have in mind.
Step 2: We will respond with suggestions of author/illustrator/storyteller who can offer what you are looking for. We will give you an idea of what the author can do on a typical visit and supply you with accurate costs so you can budget accordingly.
Step 3: We will help finalize details of the day, create a zoom/online link (if needed) and provide on-site support incl. tech test-run prior to actual event.
Step 4: Once date is finalized, make sure their books are read by teachers in classrooms and/or daily facts about the author or his/her books are shared ahead of time. Why not try a message board where kids can write to the author?
“The talk was interesting and they enjoyed it very much.”

The arrangement was well planned. Students were amazed by the author’s drawing and his stories. Thanks again for bringing this precious moment with our students. I am sure it can enhance student’s motivation to read more English books.
