"My school visits encourage students to be active participants: writers, illustrators, readers and viewers," says Mary Newell DePalma. "The skills students are learning in their classroom are the same ones I use to create picture books: research, writing and editing.
When students realize this, they feel empowered to write and draw their own unique stories.
My school presentations involve brainstorming, thinking like a movie director, editing, and drawing. Students see sketches, revisions, and original art from my picture books. For more information, and outlines of my presentations, visit http://www.marynewelldepalma.com/ "

by Mary Newell DePalma and Mary Newell DePalmaTutus, stage lights, and tights-wearing mice - a girl's giddy first experience dancing in THE NUTCRACKER is celebrated for all to share. For a young dancer, everything about "The Nutcracker" is thrilling, from auditions to opening night. Readers experience it all with Kepley as she dances before judges, goes to rehearsals, and stifles giggles as she gets carried offstage by a man dressed as a giant mouse! DePalma expertly takes readers backstage and into the heart of a small dancer as THE NUTCRACKER DOLL captures the magic of theater and the thrill of being part of a great ballet.
