How do I pick the right artist from the Wordfest Youth lineup?

How do I select the right author/illustrator to visit my classroom?

Starting in April of each year, the Wordfest Youth Program pages on wordfest.com include a list of artists who are available for school visits during the Festival in October.

When possible, choose a presenter with a book whose subject matter ties in with current studies. Wordfest creates reading guides that help educators quickly identify how a book connects with the Alberta curriculum. As well, ask other teachers and librarians to recommend artists who have done wonderful school presentations.
