Below is a recent letter sent by Jane Lovascio, author of the Casey and Bella children's book series. I have been fortunate enough to see this work go from an idea that Ms. Lovascio had about creating an engaging children's book about the adventures of two real characters, Casey a Jack Russell Terrier and Bella a Tea Cup Yorkie. Each book in the Casey and Bella book series donates a portion of proceeds to a not-for-profit charity. She has recenly been featured on both the ABC and FOX television networks. This series combines reading, writing and literacy in a very engaging manner. I strongly encourage you to take a serious look. -Dr. Petrosino
Hello everyone,
My new book, Casey and Bella Go Green, was published this week. If you would like a complimentary copy for your school or library, please respond to this e-mail with your address or contact me at CaseyandBella@gmail.com
My new book Casey and Bella Go Green and the Casey and Bella Writing Contest were recently featured on ABC News. Click to view the segment.
The Casey and Bella Writing Contest is a terrific way to inspire your students to write. Last year Autumn, a 4th-grader from NJ, won with her award winning story Casey and Bella Go Green. Her story was chosen, and this week it was published as the next book in the Casey and Bella book series. Her book will be sold at Barnes and Noble.
On November 12th Autumn and I are having a joint book signing at Barnes and Noble Freehold to celebrate Autumn's success.Casey and Bella Go Green also raises money and awareness for Autism Speaks. Each Casey and Bella book raises awareness for a special children's charity. To see a preview of Autumn's book or to learn about the charities Casey and Bella books support, please go towww.CaseyandBella.com
Below is a testimonial from a literacy coach in NJ.
Jane Lovascio presented an engaging program with a read-aloud, pictures, videos, and much interactive discussion with the students. The students left the assembly with a positive view of what it means to be an author. Since the program, students have been excitedly stopping me in the halls to ask for information about the writing contest and share their ideas for the next Casey and Bella adventure. I would recommend Jane’s presentation to any school desiring to increase motivation and interest in writing. -Mrs. Introcaso

Below is the information about my author visits and the Casey and Bella Writing Contest for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. If you send me your school's address, I can end you a Casey and Bella Kit for your schools with complimentary books and activities for your students and school library.
I speak at schools for about 40 minutes, and I do two kinds of presentations depending on the age group K-2 and 3-6. I do a slide show book reading for the younger grades K-2 and then a slide show of the real characters, Casey and Bella. It is interactive and fun. Click to read information released in a recent newspaper about my author visit or watch a video posted by a school.
