Author Visit to Brown School
Paul Orshoski
Children’s Author and Poet
Paul Orshoski, is an educator, children’s author, and poet.  He is a former schoolteacher, coach, and administrator who lives in Sandusky, Ohio.  He writes witty, humorous, rhyming children’s poetry.  He has had twelve children’s books published by Treasure Bay Books. These books are part of Treasure Bay’s “We Read Phonics” series and are designed to make it easy for parents to help their children improve phonics skills and read a decodable story.  Each book combines a fun story with simple games for phonics and sight words. 

Some of Mr. Orshoski’s poems have appeared in poetry anthologies and he has also had some published in magazines for children.  Whenever possible, he enjoys making kids giggle during school visits by enthusiastically performing his poems. 

Mr. Orshoski will be visiting all three elementary schools at the end of this month.  You can pre-order any of his books by completing the attached order form. 

If you would like to purchase a book, please send order form and payment (cash only) to school by Wednesday, March 22. Click here to print Order Form.
