What We Offer

MAD Books is an MBE-certified children’s publishing and education company that partners with schools, after-school programs, and other CBO’s to deliver high quality children’s books and creative literacy programs.

As the creator of the Marvin’s First Day children’s book series, our Founder, Malcolm A. Dill, M.A.T designs programs ranging from two hour custom author visits, to twelve week immersive youth literacy workshops.

MAD Book’s mission is to inspire lifelong readers through creative literary experiences.

  • Interactive author visits that bring stories to life and inspire a love of reading. Students engage in live read-alouds, discussions about the writing process, and age-appropriate creative activities connected to Malcolm’s books.

  • Extended creative writing experiences that guide students through the full storytelling process. Over multiple sessions, students develop original characters, explore narrative structure, and strengthen their writing through discussion, drafting, and revision. Workshops are differentiated by age and ability level and intentionally integrate social-emotional learning, voice, and self-expression to help students clearly communicate their ideas and experiences.

  • Project-based experiences that allow students to become published authors. Students write, revise, and illustrate original stories, culminating in professionally presented class books or individual publications. Programs often conclude with a celebratory publishing event that invites families and school communities to honor student work and reinforce pride, ownership, and confidence in writing.
