School Author/Illustrator Visits
Parnassus Books hosts many children’s book authors and illustrators each year, and we often have the opportunity to arrange for them to visit local schools to speak to students. If your school is interested in being considered for a visit from an author or illustrator, please click here fill out a form that will collect information to help us decide whether an author or illustrator is a good fit for your school.
If your school has already arranged a visit from an author or illustrator and would like to know whether Parnassus can provide books for sale, please email Rae Ann Parker at kids@parnassusbooks.net.

Whether you need a set of books for your classroom, copies of a play for a school production, or a large number of books for an author visit, Parnassus Books is ready to handle your order. Please contact us as early as possible, as we require 3 to 5 weeks notice to ensure we can make your books available by the time you need them.
