Virtual Visits
Avi Makes Virtual Visits
to Classrooms, Libraries, Book Clubs
… throughout the year
on Tuesdays, between 9am and 3pm MT
Avi will spend up to an hour via Zoom or Google Meet with your students, patrons, or book club members in grades 4 and older.
He prefers that it be no larger than a classroom-sized group of 30 so he can see the faces of the students who are asking the questions … and they can in turn see his face.
Do this once the participants have read Avi’s book(s) so they can ask questions about the books’ content.
Please inquire about cost, details, and date if you are interested. We’ll work with you to set the date, as well as a connection testing date beforehand.
“The Zoom meetings went very well. Avi was delightful. He answered every question, and the boys enjoyed meeting a real author. It was a great experience.” (Charleen Lagace, San Miguel School, Providence, RI)
“Thank you for such a wonderful presentation today. After we disconnected our call, the students started clapping, hugging, and high-fiving each other. They were so energized by the experience! You left an impression that will last a long time for them all.” (H. MacGregor, MA)
“We thoroughly enjoyed talking with you last week and my students have not stopped talking about all of the cool things they learned about you and writing in general. I think it is such an amazing thing you do to reach out and connect with younger kids. I can’t tell you how much we appreciate this. I’m sure this is something that will stay with them for the rest of their life.” (E. Johnson, Honduras)
“Students came away with new insights about the books and a reinforcement of the process and craft of writing. … All of the students were interested in the answers for all of the questions, which I thought was a great sign. The faces of the whole class lit up with each answer! I wish we could capture that!” (V. Federici, CT)
“I am most moved by the opportunity for my students and myself to visit with you. What a gift you have given so many! Your gentle demeanor, timely humor, coupled with your humble friendliness, gave us all, in our own way, hope for our dreams and a memory for days to come.” (L. Martin, ID)
“His candid words about his academic challenges as a young boy were especially inspiring, as was his advice to ‘read, read, read — then read some more’! During library time on Wednesday, my Avi books were flying off the shelf!” (B. Mullin, MA)
“How can we thank you enough for your generous responses, your humor, and your ability to put our students at such ease! It was such a pleasure watching you interact with the kids and watching their animated responses. Without a doubt, it was a truly successful and worthwhile educational adventure.” (R. Creange, NJ)
