Newly Published!

Hi! I'm Toni Buzzeo, Author and School Library Media Specialist.  Unlike my librarian character, Mrs. Skorupski, I'd be happy to tell you ANYTHING!

I live in a colonial farmhouse in Buxton, Maine, on the remaining 35 acres of an old farm, surrounded by many gardens, with my husband, Ken Cyll. My son Topher Cyll, a software engineer, writer, and music aficionado lives nearby in Somerville, Massachusetts.

NEWS FLASH! My newest picture book, Adventure Annie Goes to Work, has just been published! Rather than a mother-and-daughter adventure day, exuberant Annie has to go to work with her mom on the day the Big Report turns up missing.  True to her nature, Annie turns the loss into a superhero adventure.  The books is charmingly illustrated by the spectacular Amy Wummer.

NEWS FLASH! My new Mrs. Skorupski picture book, The Great Dewey Hunt: A Mrs. Skorupski Story was published in March.  A great way to teach Dewey!

NEWS FLASH! Fire Up with Reading is featured on the wildly successful Children's Book Podcast Just One More Book!! Listen in by clicking the PLAY button.

INVITATION: Poke around my website to learn more about my books, my interests as a library media specialist (especially my passionate interest in connecting kids with authors and illustrators and my strong belief in teacher/librarian collaboration), and my school visits, conference speaking, and training sessions.
