SCHOOL VISITS: K - 8
A good non-fiction story should be more than just a bunch of facts. Author Conrad J. Storad says that non-fiction stories should be fun! Storad has been writing and editing stories about science and nature for more than 30 years. He has won hundreds of regional and national awards for his books, magazine articles, and publications. He is available to visit your school for presentations or writing workshops based on his work as an author, editor, and science writer. The 1-hour presentations and writing workshops include animated readings, slide shows, and plenty of time for student questions. I also do preschool readings. In addition to the animated readings and presentations, I also do nonfiction writing workshops for students and adults, as well as teacher in-service workshops.

2012 LIBERTY ELEMENTARY Buckeye, Arizona, USA
No doubt about it! There is nothing quite like a super enthusiastic elementary school audience to make your day as part of an author visit. The students at Liberty Elementary School in Buckeye, Arizona are just that type of group. In terms of enthusiasm and an appreciation for learning about science, they jumped to the front of the pack during my Authors for Earth Day presentation on April 12.
My last visit to Liberty School was more than 9 years ago, way before any of the current students were even in school. Makes a guy feel his age. Ouch. But Wow! The current students at Liberty appreciate books and were ready to learn. During my four separate presentations for Earth Day, every student in every class from Kindergarten to Grade 8 clamped on superb "listening ears." Their smiles were continuous and their questions were focused and fun. The students voted to contribute a portion of my fee to the Phoenix's Zoo's Conservation Fund, a truly worthy cause. Nice choice kids!
First Grade teacher Karen Glassick set up my day in Buckeye. I'll look forward to a return visit to Liberty School. One thing is certain: Authors for Earth Day ROCKS!
