Book the Author: Speaking Engagements Now Available

Are you looking to bring a message of inclusion, compassion, and real-life inspiration to your next event or gathering? Look no further than Dan Gill—debut children’s book author of No More Chairs and beloved educator with over 50 years of classroom experience.

Dan Gill has spent a lifetime teaching social studies at Glenfield Middle School in Montclair, New Jersey, where he touched the lives of generations of students through stories that opened minds and hearts. His first picture book, No More Chairs, is based on a powerful, true story from his own childhood—one he shared annually in his classroom to help students connect with the teachings of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Now, Dan is offering speaking engagements to share that same story—and the lessons it carries—with wider audiences. His talks are heartfelt, thought-provoking, and rooted in decades of real-world experience as both a teacher and a champion for empathy and allyship.

Whether you’re hosting a school assembly, library event, book club, educator workshop, or community gathering, Dan’s presence will leave a lasting impact. He speaks on themes of inclusion, moral courage, social responsibility, and the power of personal stories to inspire change. His engaging and accessible style connects with audiences of all ages—students, educators, parents, and community leaders alike.

Booking Dan for your event gives your audience the opportunity to hear the story behind No More Chairs directly from the author himself, ask questions, and explore the broader message of allyship and compassion that underpins the book. Dan’s genuine passion for education and storytelling makes every speaking engagement both powerful and personal.
