James Solheim's presentations inspire kids to read and write -- and revise! The author displays books he wrote in elementary school and brings kids through the process he uses to write his books in collaboration with illustrators and editors. When he autographs his books, he writes a personal note to each child who buys a copy, and he draws a funny picture in the book especially for that child.
For more information or to invite James Solheim to speak at your school or event, phone (402) 393-6108,
