"How beautiful a day can be when kindness touches it."
-George Elliston
One of the greatest joys that has come out of my creating the Artie and Bones book series is being able to visit schools and other community organizations for Meet the Author Kindness events.
Artie and Bones have been busy!
They've been traveling around visiting schools and other organizations helping others spread kindness in the community.
Scheduling an Artie and Bones visit is easy!
Just choose what type of visit you would like and give us a call!
We offer whole school assemblies or we can provide a more intimate setting in individual classrooms.

Participants will have the opportunity to pre-order the Artie and Bones book before their visit. Each pre-ordered book will be specifically addressed to the recipient and signed by the author and illustrator Toni Field. Order forms will be provided wen you book your event.
Artie and Bones enjoy interacting with the students during the assemblies and the children are so excited when they enter the room and join the fun!
Sharing the story about how the Artie and Bones book was created and who their characters are inspired by is a big part of the presentation. Talking to the students about friendship, kindness, and having the courage and perseverance to try something new is part of the positive messaging that comes along with the Artie and Bones kindness assemblies
Artie and Bones love to get the kids moving during the assemblies by inviting the children to join in kindness inspired activities that include getting students to think of ways to be kind. Some assemblies include building kindness puzzles, beach ball toss, and showing how we can water the seeds of kindness.
Artie and Bones are always looking for different ways to spread kindness during their school assemblies. If you have an idea in mind, let us know and we will try to customize your school assembly to help your school spread kindness in your own special way.
Each assembly is filled with 45 minutes of kindness, art, and fun! The assemblies can be split into two separate presentations divided by grade.
The Artie and Bones kindness presentation includes a read aloud of the book and a brief description about how the Artie and Bones book was created. We offer the opportunity to customize the presentation by adding specific age-appropriate information that is themed towards your school or organization.
Examples of this may include adding slides that talk about your organization or school's mission statement or promoting kindness activities or events that your school or organization is involved in.
Audience participation is key to making our kindness assemblies a success! We have a variety of activities that get the audience moving while inspiring each other to be kind.
Every Artie and Bones event comes with mask templates that can be created prior to the event.
Artie and Bones love leaving a little piece of their hearts after their visit, so they present their assembly hosts with a personalized one-of-a-kind keepsake to be displayed as a heartfelt memory from their visit.
We offer customizable small group settings for your Artie and Bones visit. This is perfect for preschools and youth organizations!
Whole group photos with Artie and Bones are available as an add-on to your Artie and Bones visit.
Artie and Bones love inspiring others and spreading kindness with murals. Contact us about creating a custom mural for your school or organization!
Artie and Bones love painting kindness rocks! Ask us about how you can host an Artie and Bones rock painting event or include it as an add-on to your visit.
