Rennie is Available For:

School Assemblies or Classroom Visit 

The author(s) will deliver a powerful speech or book reading, and end the presentation with an engaging Q&A session with students. Prior to the visit, the school will be provided with an introductory video.

Literacy Night (PTA Fundraiser)

Parents and community leaders like to meet authors too! Consider planning a “Meet the Author” Literacy Night event for your community and sell the books as a fundraiser. Rennie can deliver a presentation about the importance of literacy and parental involvement. This is a great option for any PTA breakfast, luncheon, or reception.

Skype Classroom Visits

When a physical visit by the Rennie is not possible, school’s educators can schedule a Skype video presentation.

Rennie will Skype with one class or grade level for 30 minutes. Sessions are scheduled based on his availability. There is a 30-book minimum purchase requirement for this option.

Books are sold to the schools at a discounted rate of $15.95 plus shipping. Student’s books will be autographed and shipped directly to the school.

Options For Book Purchasing:

Student Purchase

• Books are $20, which covers the cost of the book and shipping. A Permission slip will be given to students prior to the Author visit in order to receive funds from their parents.
