Andrea Antico, the author and a former school librarian, will donate an autographed copy of the SUGARPLUM TREE or THE BOOKS THAT YOU’LL READ with LEO the LION, YOUR LIBRARY GUIDE to elementary schools in the Kingston, NY area. Upon request from the principal or the librarian/media specialist, she will read the story or present it digitally to a classroom or a grade level, or a Parent/Teachers’ meeting If desired, Andrea will discuss ways and means of increasing kindness and/or using libraries after the book presentation/s.
If you have students’ artwork or original pieces about kindness or the use and love of libraries, they can be posted anonymously or under a first name on kindereads.com. If you wish, we will publish the name of the school, grade level and teacher. Please send them digitally to [email protected].
Andrea is also available for Book Fairs or Literacy Nights at local elementary schools. A percentage of the sales will be given to the school library. Discounts will be given for the purchase of multiple copies by schools, libraries, parent-teacher and non-profit organizations. She was a storyteller in the Denver group, Spellbinders and is a member of the National Association of PenWomen and ELF, the Educational Literacy Foundation of CIPA, (Colorado Independent Publisihers’ Association). Email her with questions about the above.
