I am the illustrator of the popular My Weird School series. My whimsical, award-winning illustrations appear in more than 100 children’s books, and I have also collaborated with Disney, Nickelodeon, and many other creative organizations.

My school presentations are interactive and engaging, and typically include live drawing with students, discussions about my journey as an artist and writer, an overview of how books are made, and encouragement for children to pursue their own creative paths. I keep the sessions light, fun, and welcoming, and I actively encourage student questions.

I have extensive experience conducting school visits, which may include a single presentation for the entire school or multiple smaller sessions tailored to different age or grade levels. Because each school’s needs, location, and schedule vary, I do not have a fixed fee. Pricing is based on factors such as travel and the number of presentations requested.

If you are interested in arranging a visit, please feel free to call or email me at jimpaillot@cox.net. I would be happy to discuss options and find a format that works for your school. Thank you.
