Award-winning author Marsha Wilson Chall has written several books for children, including Rupa Raises the Sun, Bonaparte, Sugarbush Spring, and Up North at the Cabin.

She travels from Watertown, Minnesota.

Chall's school visits are exciting and colorful. She reads from her works and interacts with students through slide presentation, puppet demonstration, and a question/answer session.

Dear Marsha,

I wanted to thank you, from all of the staff, for being with us. I don't often get a chance to hear the special people that come to our building, but I do hear all comments afterwards. I must tell you that it has been a while since staff and students have enjoyed someone so much. Best wishes to you as you continue to write and we all look forward to reading your books.

Sincerely,
Wendy Anderson, Secretary
Winthrow School

As a teacher and author, Marsha Wilson Chall is eager to conduct writing presentations and workshops for students of all ages. In her writing presentation, Chall shares the development of her books with large and small groups of any age through a slide show that includes childhood influences on her writing process, inspirations, and the mechanics of book creation, from original draft to final galleys. Writing workshops can be tailored to the needs of the group. Many emerging writers have discovered the magic of connecting their own experience with the power of language through her spirited and creative writing sessions.
