Interested in holding an event? Whether you just want to have an author sell and sign or want a whole storytime, Seabear Press has you covered! Send us an email about what you are thinking and we will give you all of the information that you need - including a PDF flyer of your event to help you advertise. Plus if you can get a neighboring group to book us for back-to-back events, we will knock $25 off at each venue and you can split the mileage!

​

Our storytimes aren't just reading. Of course there will be books, but the author will present a variety of interactive fun that fits your needs such as fingerplays, songs and music, learning to and drawing a dinosaur with Erin, author and illustrator Q&As, candy, bubbles (if you allow it) and book signings where The Barnards will sign, personalize and draw something fun inside of your book while you watch!

 

Space and availability are limited so e-mail today and we will be happy to send you details!
