October Paper Craft and Book Classes for Children

I offer local children’s classes in several locations along the California central coast, usually for free or for a small materials fee. As an author and illustrator of kids picture books, I find these classes keep me in touch with young children and is a good marketing tool. Once a month, I send out an email newsletter to parents and to my sales/classroom outlets letting them know where and when my classes will be held and what projects I’ll be providing.

I try to develop projects that young children will enjoy and can do in an hour. With youngsters under 6 years, they probably need adult help but I usually have as part of the project something that younger children can do by themselves.

Here is a copy of my October newsletter for your information. I encourage you to see if classes like these will assist you in your marketing and in increasing your contact with kids. Contact me with any questions or suggestions. Beryl

June and July Kids Paper Craft Classes and Newsletter

Paper craft and bookmaking classes are my an important way to market my children’s picture books and relate to young children and my readers. Each month I email my newsletter to my list of interested kids and parents detailing the classes and other news. My classes are often free or for a small fee. All materials are supplied including colorful papers, pens, paper punches, etc. I encourage parents/grandparents to join the class for free. For more information, contact me at beryl@charter.net.

 

 

Just Published Ruby Learns to Read

My new children’s picture book, Ruby Learns to Read, is about a chicken that wants desperately to learn to read but finds is difficult. The letters seem to jump around on the page and they all look like “chicken scratches” to her.

 

Finally over time, with much practice and persistence and the help of a little boy, Dylan, she can read a whole story to her delight. She then offers to teach the family cat, Puffin, to read. But Puffin isn’t so sure she wants to learn.

This is a story for young children who are just learning to read or who find reading difficult, ages 5 to 8 years old.
