Upcoming Live Read-Aloud
Mackin and Penguin Young Readers welcome your class to an interactive half-hour, including a reading and a student Q&A session. Join Matt de la Peña, Newbery Medal-winning author of Last Stop on Market Street, as he reads aloud from his newest book The Perfect Place. Matt will answer questions about The Perfect Place as well as his other picture books. The Perfect Place, a lyrical, richly illustrated book highlights the beauty to be found in even the humblest of homes and in a family that may not be materially rich but is rich in love.
Attend the live webinar to be entered to win 1 of 5 copies of The Perfect Place!
When you take amazing authors and imaginative illustrators, and feature their current or most beloved stories, and bring them to students and educators right in their classroom, you have the perfect formula for Mackin’s Storyteller Spotlight.
These live readings will bring you closer to the spirit in which these stories were meant to be enjoyed. And the exciting Q&A sessions immediately after each reading give viewers a chance to dig deeper into the stories and the talents that create them.
Whether you watch it live, or stream a pre-recorded reading, you and your students will be a part of a memorable experience that will last a lifetime!
“We attended the live webinar on Jarrett J. Krosoczka today! None of our kiddos have ever seen or meet an author. Thanks for bringing this book/author media journey into our school system. Mackin does it all in the Library World. You made our library services shine here today!”
