School Program Story by Karen Tyrrell WOW! Rebecca Johnson, children’s science author extraordinaire, presented engaging author talks at Story Arts Festival school program. Rebecca spoke to bus-loads of school kids, inspiring young readers to care for animals… and write about them too. Who is Rebecca Johnson?

In total, she’s published 105 books in the last 17 years, selling 3 million books!! http://rebeccajohnson.com.au/ How did Rebecca present her talks? Rebecca’s author talks were FUN, interactive and energetic, involving many props including stuffed toy animals, wigs and vet costumes. I especially liked her play when she invited three children to wear funny costumes and act out a scene as she narrated it. The audience created special effects. Rebecca presented her personal talk with a portable microphone whilst other speakers used power point. Rebecca explained how she didn’t like to rely on technology in case something went wrong. If you’re wanting to write about animals, I highly recommend you listen to Rebecca’s presentations.
