Invite Kathy Diebold to Your Next Event

Bring a touch of whimsy and wonder to your next gathering! Whether it’s a quiet celebration of a new arrival or a lively community event, I love sharing the magic of "The Sun Jumped Over the Moon" with readers of all ages.

My Gift to the Community

Free Author Visits & Personalized Autographs I believe in the power of storytelling and the joy of a child’s first book. To make literacy accessible to everyone, I offer my event visits and readings free of charge. > My goal is to get The Sun Jumped Over the Moon into the hands of little readers everywhere. In lieu of a speaking fee, I simply ask for the opportunity to offer books for sale. For every book purchased, I provide a free, hand-written personalized autograph to make each copy a one-of-a-kind treasure.

Below are the ways we can collaborate to make your event unforgettable.

  • Library & School Visits Engage your young patrons with a professional author visit! My sessions focus on sparking imagination and the joy of rhythm in storytelling. Each visit includes an interactive read-aloud, a "behind-the-scenes" look at how the sun and moon found their way into a book, and a brief Q&A for aspiring young writers.

  • Bookstore Signings & Festivals Available for public readings and meet-and-greets. I love connecting with the local community to discuss the creative process, children's literacy, and the journey of bringing a story to life.
