Sponsorship
Give a Student a Book With Their Name Beside Yours.
Partner with Shelly's Adventures to bring autographed books, author visits, and reading experiences to kids who need them most — and put your business name where it matters.
The Mission
I'm Kentrell Martin, author of Shelly's Adventures — a book series built around ASL literacy that has become one of the most requested school visit programs in the country.
Each author visit reaches 200–1,000 students, and the school year tour reaches 60,000+ students nationwide. Budget cuts mean many schools can no longer afford author visits or classroom book sets, and their students miss out on an experience that can spark a lifelong love of reading. Your sponsorship closes that gap.
Books, Not Just Visits
Many schools have zero budget for author visits or new books — sponsorship puts a book in every student's hands.
A First-Time Experience
For most kids, this is the first book they've ever owned personally signed by its author.
Visible Community Impact
Your name reaches students, teachers, and families — real goodwill tied directly to literacy and education.
BY YOU
Every sponsored book includes a custom sticker inside the cover:
"This book was sponsored by: [Your Company Name]" — a lasting reminder to every student and family of who made it possible.
Student Residency
Sponsored schools receive a banner displayed on-site recognizing the business that made the visit possible — visible to every student, teacher, and parent who walks through.

Travel & Tour Sponsor
Getting to schools in other cities and states means flights, hotels, and ground transportation. A single visit reaches 200–1,000 students, and the full school year tour reaches 60,000+ — covering 70,000–100,000 miles a year nationally and internationally. Sponsoring travel stretches that reach even further, and puts your name on the tour itself.
