Description:
Barry sings his song "All I Want is You" in the opening credits of the Academy Award winning film "Juno" and his songs are featured in other movies, television shows and TV commercials throughout the world.
Barry has performed at The White House, The Smithsonian and The Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and presents concerts and author visits in schools from Washington DC to Fairbanks, Alaska--but he lives in Maryland!
Barry can provide grade level presentations or back-to-back sessions for combined grades. He will inspire your students, teachers and parents with his entertaining stories, witty poems, funny songs and engaging books. He is the rare author who can vary his program to accommodate different grade levels and his presentations are equally appealing to younger and older students.
In addition to his AIE grant funding, you can help finance the cost of his visit by sponsoring an author autographing. Your school will receive a percentage of all proceeds from the book and music sales generated by his visit.
Appropriate Grade Levels:
K-5, 6-8, 9-12
