Oooh, I'd be nervous too, but I'm sure you'll be fine. Being overly prepared is always my favorite method for keeping calm. :)
You'll do great :) let us know how it goes!
I've visited at both middle school and grade school...more from the writing perspective than I have a book appropriate for kids that age. It's not bad. The kids were interested and asked good questions. Let us know how it goes.
I have yet to participate in an author visit to a school. Well, unless you can't a reading program where I stopped by to read a children's story. Good luck!
Jessica, I do the same thing.. Totally over prepared..
Keri :)
Thanks, Trish! I will..
Keri :)

Keri :)
Kelly,
What was that like??
Keri :)
Haven't been in your shoes yet, but I imagine I'd go with the over-prepared strategy, too. :D That, and trying to remember that kids love author visits (even if only because it gets them out of math). Good luck! I hope it's loads of fun.
I've never done one, but good luck! Please give us a recap.
Thanks Shari and Kwana! I'm all prepared ready to go.. Have a great weekend!!
Keri :)
I think in a lot of ways talking to kids is even harder than an adult audience. Um, not to make you MORE nervous or anything. *sheepish smile*
