Meeting Jan Brett






On Tuesday, famous children's author and illustrator, Jan Brett, came to visit the Appleton Public Library. She did a demonstration of her artwork and spoke for a few minutes and then did a book signing. Being the teacher mom I am, I pulled the boys from school a half hour early so we could get in line to get our ticket for having a book signed. We were number 70 of about 200 people!! Jan's artwork is amazing!! She has such vivid details.

This was the fourth author Noah has met. He went down to Milwaukee last fall to meet Lemony Snickett and last year at the Young Author's Conference (also in Milwaukee) he met Nancy Carlson and Sneed Collard.

Enjoy the photos!

We LOVE Jan Brett. We read (almost daily) "The Mitten" and Jadyn always laughs when the bear sneezes and they all fly out of the mitten! What a treat for you guys. Give Emma a hug from Jadyn.
