Presentation:

Before the book signing Jan Brett will do a 20-minute drawing illustration and presentation. Registered participants are invited to come and listen to the presentation at no cost.

Book Signing:

Registered participants must have purchased a copy of Alice in a Winter Wonderland from Novel to join the signing line. 

Jan will do her very best to sign all of the books that time permits. The number of books that Jan can sign per family depends on how many people come to the signing. If time does not permit Jan to sign every book, there will be special signed bookplates featuring Jan’s artwork for extra books.

Tour Bus:

Jan’s tour bus will be parked in Collierville Elementary School’s parking lot at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday, December 7, 2024. It is wrapped in artwork from Alice in a Winter Wonderland. Your family is welcome to take a photograph next to the bus.

Meet Hedgie:

Hedgie, Jan’s favorite friend from The Mitten and The Hat, will be visiting as well. Please bring the kids to have a photo taken with Hedgie.

FAQ:

1. Can I bring books from home for Jan Brett to sign?
   • Usually the expected attendance at events does not allow for books from home to be signed. However, we are happy to provide as many signed bookplates as you need.
      
2. Can I have multiple copies of Alice in a Winter Wonderland signed at my turn in line?
   • Crowd size dictates how many books can be signed per wristband. Often this only allows one book per wristband, however, we encourage you to make strategic signing line plans with your friends. Of course, we have signed bookplates for the rest of your purchases.
      
3. How can I get a good spot in the signing line?
   • When you pick-up your pre-purchased book at the event, Novel will give you a colored wristband for the signing line. Colors will be given out based on the order in which books are picked-up on the day of the event, not in the order which they were ordered. The Collierville Burch Library has crafts/activities planned to keep families busy while they wait their turn.
      
4. I can’t wait for two hours! What do I do?
   • We have beautifully designed signed Jan Brett bookplates for anyone not able to join the line.
      
5. Can I order a book to be signed even if I don’t attend the event?
   • Crowd size will determine whether there is time for Jan to sign pre-ordered books for customers who are not able to attend the event. If we run out of time, we promise to give you as many beautiful signed bookplates as you need for your order. Please contact Novel after the event if you were unable to attend.
