Jaron's First Book Signing

Messaging with a friend yesterday afternoon and she mentioned she was going to an author talk in St. Peter later on with some other friends I know. She had read one book by the author a long time ago, but she loves listening to authors, so she's going anyway. I love hearing authors too and said so. Then she invited me along, said there was room in the car for both Jaron and me, and that they'd be leaving in about 45min. The author was Kate DiCamillo. 

To be spontaneous or not to be??

Jaron was napping so I said no. 

He woke up 10min later and I changed my answer. 

It's Kate DiCamillo! You might be familiar with two of her books The Tale of Despereaux or Because of Winn-Dixie. The Bink and Golly series is my favorite of hers. She also writes the Mercy Watson series. 

I grabbed a couple of books by her in case she was doing a book signing afterwards... and then I forgot them at home. But there was a table of her books for sale (at a discount!), so I bought one I knew I didn't have. 

Jaron did great. He quietly ate snacks and looked at books or audience members. I really enjoyed her presentation. And we did get our book signed in the end.
