As National Reading Month rolls around again, I keep getting emails about where/how to contact local authors for school and library presentations. Please remember that the Society of Children's Book Authors and Illustrators has a very active chapter in Michigan (400+ members). A listing of those published who do talks is at the Mi--SCBWI site: https://michigan.scbwi.org/authors-illustrators . Also the State keeps a list known as the Mich. Authors & Illustrators Database. It's at: http://libraryofmichigan.state.mi.us/Authors . And do remember, the sooner you can schedule an author for Reading Month, the better. Many are completely booked months out. Have a happy March! (And it isn't too soon to start preparing for next March!) Ciao! Shutta Shutta Crum www.shutta.com<http://www.shutta.com/> WILLIAM AND THE WITCH'S RIDDLE (Coming, 2016.

March is Reading Month Message from the Department of Education
by Norris, Sonya (MDE) 01 Mar '16

01 Mar '16

[Michigan Dept of Ed header] Do Unto Otters March is Reading Month and the State Superintendent is asked each year to come to schools all across Michigan and read to the students. He loves reading to kids, especially his grandkids. Because State Superintendent Brian Whiston's schedule doesn't allow him to reach all of the schools that ask, he wanted to provide a video of himself reading a children's book that schools and early childcare centers can play to the children. Brian offers a brief message about the importance of learning to read, followed by him reading Do Unto Otters. HAPPY READING MONTH! http://www.michigan.gov/mde/0,4615,7-140-37818_45256-377817--,00.html<http://links.govdelivery.com:80/track?type=click&enid=ZWFzPTEmbXNpZD0mYXVpZ…> ________________________________ [Michigan Department of Education Logo] Questions?
