Jan Brett is one of the most beloved children's authors on our shelves. She is especially good at getting us in the festive holiday season with classics like The Mitten, The Hat, and so many more, all illustrated in her signature cozy style.
This December, you're invited to join Jan Brett in person with The Ivy Bookshop, in celebration of her wintry new release: The Christmas Sweater! Come on over to our location at The Shops at Kenilworth for a drawing demonstration and talk with Jan Brett, followed by a book signing.
A few notes and guidelines:
- The Ivy at The Shops at Kenilworth is located on the first level, across from Italian Gardens.
- Customers must have purchased a copy of The Christmas Sweater to join the signing line. You can either do that with your ticket here (for pickup at the event), or purchase it at the store on the day of the event--we'll have copies for sale as well as some of Jan Brett's other books.
- 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, we'll have special signed bookplates featuring Jan’s full-color artwork for all of the extra books.
- Arrive early! The first 100 families in line will receive a free signed Jan Brett poster.
- Hedgie, Jan’s favorite friend from The Mitten and The Hat, will be visiting as well. And you can take a photo with him!
- Jan’s tour bus will be parked in the parking lot at The Shops at Kenilworth at 9am. It’s wrapped in artwork from The Christmas Sweater. You’re welcome to take a photo next to the bus.
Jan Brett is the New York Times #1 bestselling artist/author of over 40 picture books. Her books have been chosen as “Best Children’s Books of the Year” by The New Yorker, Parents, Redbook, and others. Brett lives in Norwell, MA.
