Role: Author; Illustrator
Short Bio: Marty Kelley was born hundreds and hundreds of years ago in Manchester, NH. He is currently a children’s author and illustrator but has, in the past, been a second grade teacher, a baker, a cartoonist, a newspaper art director, a drummer in a heavy metal band, a balloon delivery guy, an animator, and lots of other things. He’ll probably continue writing and illustrating children’s books for many years to come because there are few other jobs where being able to paint a perfect booger-bubble is an actual job requirement. Some of his books are: Fall Is Not Easy; The Rules; Winter Woes; Summer Stinks Spring Goes Squish; Twelve Terrible Things; and The Messiest Desk.
Selected Works: The Messiest Desk (2009)
Twelve Terrible Things (2008)
Spring Goes Squish (2007)
Winter Woes (2004)
Summer Stinks (2001)
The Rules (2000)
Fall Is Not Easy (1998)

Program Info

Program Descriptions: I typically visit 50 - 60 schools each year. As a former second grade teacher, I love having the opportunity to teach children without having to grade papers afterward.
My presentations are a fun, fast-paced tour through the entire process of writing and illustrating a picture book. I show rough drafts, revisions, and original artwork. I answer as many questions as I can and I do a drawing demonstration with a student from the audience.
Program Pricing: 3 presentations/day - $825
4 presentations/day - $950
Travel/lodging fees apply for long, long journeys.
Special Features: Drawing demonstrations, actual artwork, writing workshops available.
