In your K-6 classroom, auditorium or library, Bob Barner opens up the world of art, music and books with his fun, energetic presentations. Each presentation will be tailored to the grade level of the students. Bob will read his books, draw along to the songs, Dem Bones and To Everything that have inspired two of his books and present the art to the school library. He will discuss how he gets ideas for books and encourage all of the students to keep a journal with their own ideas for a masterpiece. Bob also talks about the teacher who encouraged him to write and draw when he was a student. He will also talk about the book making process from idea to printed titles. Would you like to know something about writing, having ideas, or making art? Why not ask the author/illustrator during the question and answer time. Bob likes to do three 45 minute presentations and there are no limits to class size. He will be happy to sign books so students can take them home the same day. Bob can also do a collage or writing session with a smaller group of students or a professional development workshop with teachers.

“I have visited thousands of students and teachers at schools and conferences from Guam to South Carolina, from to Massachusetts to Florida. I hope I can visit your school or conference soon.”
