Greetings,<br>
<br>
I am Kim Brown, Marc Brown's sister, and the inspiration for his character,
D.W. I have been presenting at schools and libraries for 13 years. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I am planning a tour in Oregon
the week of October 25th, 2010. I will be paying all my own travel
expenses so this is the time to take advantage of this unique learning
experience.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>My fee is $300 per presentation
with a maximum audience of approximately 200. I can do up to 4 presentations in
a day. Below is a brief outline about my presentation. Feel free to call
or write with any questions at 308-238-3552.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>I would appreciate it if you
would share this information with media specialists and librarians in your
area. Thank you for your time and consideration.<br>
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal style='margin-bottom:12.0pt'>Kim Brown aka D.W.<br>
<br>
<br>
A VISIT FROM THE REAL D.W. !<br>
<br>
1. I share some childhood memories. I also explain how most of the characters
are based on real people, from our family or our neighborhood.<br>
2. I have a question and answer session.<br>
3. A power point presentation, sharing everything from family photos to where
Marc lives and works. It also includes, Arthur in the Macy's Day parade and a
review on how Marc writes a book.<br>
4. I read a D.W. book on power point.<br>
5. I show how Marc illustrates a book using original rough sketches to the
color proof from the publisher.<br>
6. We all draw Arthur together using a simple 8 step formula.<br>
7. All the children get a Marc Brown autographed stamp with their favorite
character on their drawing or book as a special keepsake.
