School Visits & Events

I love engaging with students, teachers, librarians, and writers about reading and writing!

I have visited kids at schools, libraries, conventions, and festivals, in person and virtually. I’ve also presented workshops and participated on panels for adults at various events, including nErD Camp PA and the National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) Annual Convention.

I’d love to work with you on finding the best presentation or workshop for your needs! For more information, please use the Request an Author Visit Form below.

For Educators & Parents: Download free resources like discussion guides, worksheets, and word searches on individual book pages.

“Highlight of the week! Such a special moment to see Sonja Thomas work her magic and captivate all of our 5th graders. We are so lucky to have learned and laughed with you. Thank you, thank you, thank you to all who made this possible for our students. Best Thursday Ever!”
