Dan Gutman is available for virtual school visits with students in grades 2-5 via Zoom.
When Dan visits a school, he talks to everyone from kindergarten through grade 6. For kindergarten, he reads his picture book Rappy the Raptor in their classroom.
For grades 1-3, he does an assembly all about his My Weird School series and has a slide show about "A Day In The Life Of An Author." For the older grades, he talks about his baseball card adventure series and has a slide show about his Flashback Four series. There is a Q&A at the end of each session.
Dan's talk is delivered with honesty and down-to-earth humor. Students are inspired, not only to read and write, but also to overcome rejection, to be persistent, to take initiative, and to pursue their dreams.
