| One of my favorite things about
being a children’s
book author and illustrator is reading my books and talking about them,
with kids of all ages. I’ve developed an entertaining, interactive
presentation to go along with the stories. We talk about what it’s
like to do what I do, and I discuss the process of making books in
general, as well as how I work. I bring many visual aids for all this,
including friendly stuffed animals, actual sketches, book dummies and
paintings. For more information, or if you wish to schedule a presentation for your school or library, please contact me directly by phone or e-mail. My programs can be tailored to the amount of time available, the size of your group or groups and the age of each audience. “Children’s book author and illustrator, Mary Haverfield, is one of the best in the Metroplex! Her most recent book, Harriett the Homeless Raccoon, was a hit at our story time. I highly recommend a visit from this talented lady. Mary was also a featured guest at our recent Children’s Author panel. Her insight into the world of children’s books thrilled the audience of aspiring children’s authors.” Maureen Szostek Community Relations Manager Barnes & Noble Lincoln Park Dallas, TX “Creative. Engaging. Informative. These are all perfect words to describe author/illustrator Mary Haverfield. Mary read Harriett the Homeless Raccoon to an audience of first through fifth graders, and kept them captivated throughout. Children and teachers were fascinated with her presentation. Mary’s visit to our campus is still the buzz and we would love another!” Wendy Madden 2nd Grade Teacher Ben Milam Elementary McAllen, Texas |
