The latest book from Jan Brett is “Alice in a Winter Wonderland” and as she has done for the past several books; Jan gets on a bus, goes across the country, talks to kids, talks about the book, does a signing, and puts on quite the show.

She is doing that this year as well! We are thrilled she had some time to speak with us about the book “Alice in a Winter Wonderland” while on tour.
