School and Library Visits
CREATIVITY is a SUPERPOWER (& ALL kids have it)!
|
I love to visit schools! My full-day school visit program explores the behind-the-scenes process of creating my books: inspiration, research, writing, sketching, revisions, and final art.
Since I've written and illustrated picture books, early chapter books, middle grade novels and graphic novels, I am able to present to ALL grades (K-8). The presentations are tailored to specific grade levels using age-appropriate examples from my books. No matter the grade level, each group will get a detailed look at my process. The visit day includes up to three presentations, lunch with students and/or faculty, and optional book signing. I also offer workshops on creativity (grades 1-2) and making comics (grades 3-6). Workshops are best for smaller groups (10-30 students). Contact me using the form below or email me at [email protected] for more information! |
Matt Phelan offered us exactly what we hoped for during his visits! He inspired students to look for their own stories, shared about his journey and process, and gave great tips for drawing and creating. Matt's images and voice set the tone for student engagement and he eagerly took student questions to help support their wonderings. |
