“Newman’s rapport and style puts kids at ease. They can see immediately this is an adult who sees a kid’s perspective.” –-Terry Minton, teacher, grade 6


Read Aloud Fun (all ages) Climb aboard #417 and jingle the brass to learn railroading lingo OR take a cruise on an aircraft carrier and learn to talk like a fighter pilot. Newman promises lively, interactive readings, sharing fun productions and illustration secrets.
From Pen to Publisher (grades 2 and up) The writing process comes alive as Newman describes the research and editorial steps her manuscripts passed through to become books.
How Writers Write (grades 4 and up) Where does Judy Sierra get her ideas? How does Steve Jenkins make animal collages? A peek into Newman's writing life and the lives of other children's authors and illustrators taken directly from Newman's interviews with over 100 talented authors and illustrators.
Writers Workshops (grades 4 and up) Small groups of students join Newman for an in-depth look at writing, focusing on character, dialogue, setting or voice. This presentation provides opportunities for on-going writing critiques between Newman and your students.
