Seven years ago, author/artist Jan Brett was touring to promote her Christmas Treasury. Tori and I bundled into the car and waited in line at a church hall in Charlotte, VT to meet her. Tori picked out a copy of The Gingerbread Baby for Aunt Lisa's Christmas present, The Night Before Christmas for herself, and I bought what has become known in our home as The Big Book of Christmas.
Ms Brett was very sweet and signed all three books for us (even though signs all over the place clearly stated she would sign only one.) She spent several minutes talking with my star-struck little girl who still remembers. The Christmas book is a family treasure.

That is awesome! I love her books and website. Megan and I read the Gingerbread Baby ALL the time!
I love family treasures and wonderful memories.
Oh! How cool is that to have met and talked with her! Hers are among my very favorite books =-)
What a neat thing to keep and treasure!!
My parents met her last year to get a book signed for my 7 year old. She is a sweet lady. We have lots of her books.
The Christmas Treasury is THE most loved book in our home. My MIL gave it to my boys years ago, and it has literally fallen apart we've read it so much. It's a huge part of preparing for Christmas at our house.
