school visits
I'm always happy to visit schools, libraries, book fairs: pretty
much any place that will let me swap stories and talk history.
Email me at ssheinkin@gmail.com to talk over schedule,
program specifics, money,
and so on.

"Steve Sheinkin has proven several times to be a great boon to our students. His
presentations on both his subject (history) and the details and nuances of writing a
book are always smart, age-appropriate, education-savvy and loads of fun. I have
had students comment to me how much they enjoyed Steve's visits and teachers tell
me how rich his discussions and interactions are."
- Jesse Karp, Librarian, Little Red School House and Elisabeth Irwin High School,
New York, NY
"Thanks to Steve, Westward Expansion was brought to life in my classroom. They
debated Manifest Destiny, created a 3-D homage to the Sager family's journey, and
honestly shared how Social Studies was boring before this book. Thanks for all of the
great stories and the excitement they bring to our classroom!"
- Julia Hainer-Violand, Teacher, Oyster-Adams Bilingual School, Washington, D.C.
"Steve was totally relaxed and spoke directly to our students, encouraging their
questions and comments. Steve spoke about how he made the transition from
writing for textbooks to writing his own books. He also described the research
involved in writing nonfiction. Our students enjoyed the interesting stories about
historical figures. Several told me they found Steve interesting and enjoyable. My
principal and teachers also enjoyed his visit."
- Pauline Herr, Librarian, LaGrange Middle School, Lagrangeville, NY
