On Tuesday December 10, 2019, acclaimed author and illustrator Jan Brett stopped in Alamogordo as part of her 2019 book tour for her latest book, The Tale of the Tiger Slippers.   Ms. Brett traveled by tour bus to all of the stops on her book tour.   The bus was wrapped in the artwork from the new book, and it even had Alamogordo listed on the side.

About 200 people came out to welcome Ms. Brett.   She did a talk about her new book, a drawing demonstration, and then she signed books for those in attendance.   It was a great evening and we were thrilled to be a part of it.

Ms. Brett has been featured in Dolly Parton's Imagination Library over the years including her book Cinders.   She has written and illustrated over 35 picture books which have sold over 42 million copies!
