Bing’s Cherries School Visits in March 2026

I am so excited to release Bing’s Cherries from Penguin Random House in March 2026.

To celebrate, I’d like to visit seven elementary schools FREE of honorarium, with the below conditions. Please read carefully to see if your class/school might be a good fit.

Book Visit Eligibility

  • One book purchased and gifted to every student attending*

  • The students will read Bing’s Cherries before the presentation.

  • The students will prepare a list of questions in advance for the Q&A.

  • I recommend 1st, 2nd and 3rd graders for this book.

  • School covers my travel costs (ground transportation if driving more than 1 hour, flight and accommodations if needed).

  • Available days: March 6, March 9, March 10, March 11, March 12, March 20, March 27. These slots will be filled first-come, first-served.**

  • Each presentation takes 45-55 minutes. The visit will include a slide presentation, an interactive drawing component, and Q&A.

*I'm hoping for a minimum of 25 students per visit. Discounted books can be purchased for $12/book.

**I am based in the Seattle area. The timing of the visit and the distance I can travel varies from day to day. Let’s talk specifics!

What Does a School Visit Look Like?

I occasionally make educational visits to elementary schools! I can’t show the best photos due to student privacy reasons, but here are some example scenes that demonstrate the fun we can have.
