This year we are pleased to welcome ERIC A. KIMMEL and WENDELIN VAN DRAANEN
Eric A. Kimmel will visit our PreK-2nd grades. He wanted to be an author from Kindergarten, when he first discovered that authors make books! He grew up in New York City, and his family history goes back to the Ukraine. Herschel and the Hanukkah Goblins and Anansi and the Moss Covered Rock are two of his most well known stories. Mr. Kimmel has written an astonishing range of books, many of them folktales, and many humorous versions of folktales. He visits us from Portland. www.ericakimmel.com

Wendelin Van Draanen visits our 3rd-5th grades. She has been “airborne” speaking to students for twenty years, and written over thirty novels. She has visited Daves multiple times, as every visit is memorable to a new group of students, and her books are worthy of re-reads. Kindness and humor are quiet superpowers, and it is rare to see them combined so eloquently. Wendelin grew up in California, and arrived at writing unexpectedly, because fiction allows you to choose history for your characters! www.wendelinvand.com
