Ellen Bryant Lloyd, the author of FRECKLES®, and David Stanley, the illustrator, are available to visit bookstores, schools, libraries and other children's organizations. Visits include fun-filled, engaging, and age-appropriate presentations designed to foster an enhanced interest in reading and the world of publishing. |

Bookstore Events Bookstore events include storytime, book signing, and bookmarks, stickers and coloring sheets for children who attend. An adult-sized Freckles™ character is also available to meet and greet children provided a volunteer is secured by the store. We also offer a Freckles™ t-shirt to give away as a door prize for individuals who register. |

Schools and Libraries Author visits at schools and libraries include a reading of the book, discussion of the important lessons learned, and a presentation about the publishing process, “How a story becomes a book.” Master coloring sheets are provided as well as bookmarks and stickers to distribute to participating students / readers.
An additional benefit of booking a FRECKLES™ event is that it raises money for your school. The publisher, Butterfly Creations, Inc., donates a portion of all book and t-shirt sales generated from the school visit back to the school. Book orders are strongly encouraged prior to the visit so that copies may be personalized and autographed beforehand. A limited number of books are available for purchase and autographing the day of the event. For school visits, a copy of FRECKLES® is donated to the classroom, or to the school media center if multiple classes are involved. Fee information is available from the publisher, Butterfly Creations, Inc., and typically includes reimbursement for transportation and accommodations. Please contact the publisher regarding author visit inquiries. Spaces are limited, so book your school, library or bookstore visit now. Butterfly
