Welcome to my sign-up form for free classroom visits on World Read Aloud Day, Wednesday, February 2, 2022.

My debut nonfiction picture book, THE GREAT STINK: HOW JOSEPH BAZALGETTE SOLVED LONDON'S POOP POLLUTION PROBLEM (illustrated by Nancy Carpenter) was selected by the Chicago Public Library as one of the Best Informational Books for Younger Readers in 2021 and the National Teaching Association named it one of the Best STEM Books for K-12 in 2022! Learn more about me and THE GREAT STINK at www.colleenpaeff.com.

Our 20-minute WRAD virtual visit will go something like this:

1-2 minutes: Hello! I'll introduce myself and my book.
3-5 minutes: Let's read! I'll read a short picture book or a short excerpt from a longer picture book aloud.
5-10 minutes: Q&A time! I'll answer some questions from students about reading, writing, or creating books.
1-3 minutes: Read this! I'll recommend some books I love (but didn’t write!).

Please do not sign up until you can commit to a 20-minute time slot (one per school).

Feel free to email me at colleen [dot] paeff [at] gmail [dot] com to work out any details. I look forward to meeting you and your students!
