Upcoming Live Read-Aloud
Join us for Mackin’s Storyteller Spotlight as we welcome Jeff Kinney, #1 New York Times bestselling author, for a free, virtual class visit as he reads aloud from Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hot Mess. His reading will be followed by a spirited Q&A, giving students a chance to ask questions about the new book and others that he has written.
Join live for a chance to win one of five copies of Diary of a Wimpy Kid: Hot Mess!
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 who created 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!”
