James Preller has written age-appropriate books for every grade level, K-5, ranging from picture books (Wake Me In Spring, Hiccups for Elephant, Mighty Casey), through the Jigsaw Jones mystery series, on up to middle grade novels (Along Came Spider, Six Innings).
James is relaxed and confident speaking with students at any grade, and the content of his talks vary according to age level. In addition to reading brief excerpts and taking questions, he discusses his personal writing process (where ideas come from, creating characters, drawing upon personal experiences, etc.). All done, hopefully, in a lively, entertaining fashion. For best results, Preller has found that it makes a huge difference when students are familiar with his work beforehand. As with just about everything else in life, what you get out of it is in proportion to the energy that's put into it. If the school leaders are excited and enthusiastic, that energy transfers to the students -- and everyone has a terrific, rewarding experience. James Preller is happy to sign books. It is understood that the sponsoring organization will handle all book sales. Learn more about James and his books at http://www.jamespreller.com/
