Upcoming Live Read-Aloud
Join Loren Long, #1 New York Times bestselling author and illustrator, for a free, virtual class visit as he reads aloud from The Yellow Bus. His reading will be followed by a Q&A, giving your students a chance to ask him their questions!
Attend live to be entered into a drawing to win one of two prizes. One grand prize winner will receive a back-to-school kit for their classroom or library, featuring a yellow bus time capsule, a poster, an activity kit, and a copy of The Yellow Bus. Five additional winners will each receive one copy of The Yellow Bus.
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!”
