Leonard Marcus is one of the children's-book world's most engaging and versatile speakers. He is as much at home talking with a group of first graders about the adventurous life of Goodnight Moon author Margaret Wise Brown (in a guessing-game format) as he is discussing the history of children’s literature with teachers, librarians, and college audiences. Using his books for grade schoolers as a launch point, he can explore the creative process with students. For a fuller menu of options, click here.
