Your School, Your Book 2024-25
A bunch of years ago I thought it would be fun to take one of my books and personalize it for the entire school and "Do Pirates Go to School?" was the perfect choice. The students got to see their school's name on the cover of this fun story and their favorite teachers' names on the pages of the story book and they loved it, so I now offer it at every author visit.

Why cut and paste and not type?
- Typing takes more time.
- To avoid mistakes
Using the cut and paste method means the only mistakes that end up inside the book are ones that are already on the staff list. Those mistakes are usually found before the book goes to print. But most important rarely even there.

If a school is in the middle of a book fair offering only the school book for sale is a great option. As it is a personal token of the day and of that school year and it's likely not going to intrude on the school's fair.
