SMILES AND CHEERS IN CHICAGOLAND!



 Answering questions is absolutely my favorite part of school visits!

Performing science magic and seeing eyes pop and jaws drop is cool too. 


And I like getting help from my new friends.




Plus, I LOVE signing books and talking one-on-one. You wouldn't believe how many wonderful new ideas children share for MORE What If You Had!? books!!!


I'm going to have to writing!
And writing!

WICHITA WAS WONDERFUL!

 I had a wonderful time visiting in Wichita, KS area schools, meeting readers and sharing both my books and science magic.













 It was hard to tell who was having more fun--all the kids OR me. 



Such a nice comment from : We had the fabulous opportunity to welcome author to our school today! She enthralled the kids with cool science & then graciously signed SO many books! We’re so fortunate to have her visit our school! She’s AMAZING! Lauree Moore, Librarian, Adams Elementary

NOW BOOKING 2019-2020 SCHOOL VISITS




WOW! 
What a great time I've had with both In-Person and Skype Visits to Schools! 

In the 2018-2019 school year, I visited schools in AZ, CA, FL, GA, IL, IN, KS, MO, PA, NY, and TN.  

Plus, I visited schools in a lot more states virtually via Skype. 


I loved every minute I spent with young readers!  It's why I write. 

Now, I'm ready to think about booking visits for the brand new school year coming up...2019-2020. 



Because I was Ms. Whiz on TV in Atlanta, GA and because I love sharing all the fun of science in action, I'll be bringing my action-packed SCIENCE MAGIC SHOW! 




No Power Points just interactive, totally attention-grabbing FUN!



Of course, I share Behind My Book Stories...really amazing experiences I've had researching and writing my books. Including...
Being in ANTARCTICA...

Getting to know Baby Mike...

I always make sure there is time for the children to ask me questions.



And...if possible...I love the opportunity to drop-in to visit classrooms for a little one-on-one. I'll share what it's like to have a career as an author. Read a little from one of my newest books. Let the children really get to know me. And get to know them.


Because I write about 5 new books each year, I only accept a limited number of In-Person Visits each year...first come/first scheduled. 

However, since they only require virtual travel, I accept more Skype Visits. These share a different Science Magic Show. And because children are "visiting" me in my home, I take them to visit my Book Closet. This is a large closet packed full of the over 200 books I've had published. Plus there are some very special extras to discover inside that closet. Can't tell what ... Don't want to spoil the surprise!


It's going to be a really special year because I'll have a new WHAT IF YOU HAD!? book coming out. The very first WHAT IF YOU COULD!? book. Plus three more hot off the presses:
WOOLLY MONKEY MYSTERIES
HUSH UP AND MIGRATE! 
THE GREAT SHARK RESCUE

I look forward to hearing from you. You can contact me at sandramarkle@yahoo.com
