A few months ago, the girls and I were here in Connecticut (spring break, I believe) and stopped by the home of my childhood best friend's mom's house. I wrote about that visit and how we missed seeing her, and upon hearing that, she invited us back for some author's ice cream. Not only that, we swam in the author's pool, played the author's piano and heard all about the author's grandchildren. It was super fun!!
Em had guessed the author might have a lot of books, and she was not disappointed! Not only that, each of the girls received one of the author's own books, signed.... what a treat. Two Emma Dilemma books, straight from the bookshelf of Patricia Hermes. Kt was quite impressed that PH knows James Howe, an author who had visited the girl's school this year. Em was mostly impressed with the fact that the book she came home with has a ferret and and cat in it. I'm SURE I'll hear more after it sinks in. It takes her a bit longer to process.
Now we just need to find a way to have Patricia Hermes come to our school as a visiting author - that would be the ultimate treat!! Well, for me it would be the ultimate treat if she brought along Jen and her two adorable children. ;-)
