Welcome we think you'll love what we've done

Authors bring books to life! Most children's authors do professional school visits. Every year, schools around the world invite authors (and illustrators) into their libraries and classrooms to present special literacy programs. For the kids, these powerful book-based events can foster a greater love of reading and a deeper understanding of the writing process.

Authors for Earth Day (A4ED) is a grassroots coalition of award-winning children's authors and illustrators who directly mentor young readers by giving them "an authentic research project with real-world impact." From 2010 to 2019, our events have gave voice to tens of thousands of students in the United States, from New York to California. And in Canada, Australia, and Israel, too.

With 73 authors illustrators in all genres of children's literature, each participant did one school visit a year with a unique twist: The author donated at least 50% of that day's speaking fee to a non-profit conservation organization as directed by a student vote. Students researched five conservations nominees selected by their author and then voted for their favoritethe author wrote a check to the winning organization.

Our mission? To empower young readers to shape the world around them. See us in School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, and Children's Book Council News.
