How do I book Kwame for a school visit?
Well, I don’t travel as much as I used to (unless you’re near a beach), but twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, I do visit schools and sing (NOPE! I don’t sing, but I do play guitar, or at least I’m learning) and tell stories and read poetry and answer questions (hopefully not as long as it’s taking me to answer this one). Be in touch with anya@blueflowerarts.com and she’ll let you know what’s possible.
How do I book Kwame for a speaking engagement?
Anya!
Is Kwame available for virtual events?
Absolutely! In fact, five times a year I do a big literary pep rally type of event for schools nationwide and it’s close to free (like very close). It’s called Author Study, and it’s produced by my non-profit, One Word at a Time.

How can educators use his books in the classroom?

How do I get a signed copy of his books?
You come to one of my events when I’m on tour, or speaking at a conference, or stop me in the airport, or Trader Joe’s, but don’t show up at my house. Well, I live in London, so if you actually flew all the way to the UK and showed up at my flat, I would probably serve you tea and sign it! OH YEAH!

Every book that I’ve written. Also anything by Nikki Giovanni (I miss her).
