Autographing Form:
When
authors or illustrators visit schools/libraries it is often not
possible for each student/attendee to purchase a book -- and yet they
too would like a momento of the day. We recommend that bookmarks or a
similar keepsake of the day be duplicated for each child so the
pleasure of the day is universal for each child, regardless of whether
or not they can afford a book. To facilitate the autographing of the
books while students are engaged in activities in the classroom you
might wish to use an autographing slip. One is available on this site
in a pdf file.

visit are included in the following on-line resources:
