Author Website: www.elizabethraum.net | Greetings! I'd love to visit with your students via Skype . . . or in person. I've written dozens of nonfiction books for readers in grades 1-6. I've also written for high school students and adults. You'll find photos of some of my book covers below along with descriptions of possible presentations. I'd be happy to work with your class - customizing a presentation or responding to student questions. Let's talk!

For Grades K-2 - Cedric and the Dragon Program: I will read the story aloud and respond to student questions.
 | The unlikely hero in this story is young Prince Cedric, who was slow to walk, has a tough time with reading and math, and fails miserably at dragon-slaying school. But with kindness and his love of hugs, Cedric saves the kingdom. This cheerful picture book reminds us there is more than one way to solve a problem and reinforces the idea that everyone has something special to offer. A gentle message about kindness with delightful watercolors and a loveable dragon.
