Author Visit

Our local Barnes & Noble hosted a story time and book signing by author, Mo Willems. When I received the email that he would be there I knew I wanted to take Landon. We arrived early enough to get a seat that was fairly close to where Mo Willems would be reading his books, so it worked out pretty nicely. I knew if we sat too far back it would be hard for Landon to pay attention.

I left my camera at home as I knew it would be crazy crowded (and it was) and trying to keep up with a busy 3 year old in a big crowd and take pictures is nearly impossible when you don't have another pair of hands with you (David stayed at work late getting things prepared for his upcoming field day). I'm sort of glad I left my camera at home because Mo Willems was a big stickler about using flash photography, and he actually scolded a few guests that took pictures of him with a flash on. :(


After standing in a super long line we finally got Mr. Willem's autograph.


I'm super excited to be able to share this autographed book with my kiddos at school when we do an author study on him. So fun!
