MARGIE PALATINI

“The Principessa of puns and wordfoolery” is how Kirkus Reviews describes Margie Palatini, author of over two dozen popular and award-winning books for children. Since her picture book debut (the now perennial favorite Piggie Pie!, published in 1995), Mrs. Palatini has garnered over eighty awards and honors. Her distinctive voice gets and keeps kids of all ages giggling and chuckling.

From ALA and NCTE Notable Books, IRA Editor and Children Choices, BookSense Picks, and a bevy of over fifty state award nominations and twenty State awards, her read-aloud books can always be found on someone’s ‘favorite’ list.

A graduate of Moore College of Art and Design in Philadelphia, and a former art director in the field of advertising, Margie Palatini lives in New Jersey with her husband and son, her best creative collaboration.

Author Visits An author visit by Margie Palatini is fun, funny, and a great way to get the creative juices flowing. Each of Margie’s three presentations for the day is unique and special to the age and grade. Focussing on the stories behind the stories – and the stories, students learn what inspired the author, and how those ideas made the journey to the final page. Margie is also delighted to have lunch with a small group of students, which is made especially fun if designed around a theme inspired by one of her books, like Zak’s Lunch. She is most happy to personally sign and inscribe books purchased for the visit. A detailed author’s packet, which contains more on the information above, as well as other materials helpful in making your school’s author day the best it can be, will be sent to the school when a mutually convenient date is confirmed. Invite Margie . . . and get chuckling! .......................................................................................................... Books
