Alice in a Winter Wonderland Cover Page

Jan Brett will present a drawing demonstration and share the inspiration behind her newest book, “Alice in a Winter Wonderland,” and related research trip to Alaska. She’ll also be signing books, and the first 100 families will receive a signed poster!  

The event is free and open to the public, but seating at the venue is limited. Please register below and secure up to four tickets per order. Tickets are required to enter. 

Preorder books from Books-A-Million and have them signed by Jan Brett at the event. You must have purchased a copy of “Alice in a Winter Wonderland” to join the signing line. 

Jan Brett

Jan Brett’s tour bus will be parked behind the Anthony and Wright Administration Building beginning at 4 p.m. Wrapped in the book’s artwork, it makes a great photo op! You can also have your photo taken with Hedgie, Jan Brett’s favorite friend from “The Mitten” and “The Hat”!

Usually, the expected attendance at events does not allow for books from home to be signed. However, we can provide as many signed bookplates as you need.

  • “Cozy” (9780593109793)
  • “Jan Brett’sThe Nutcracker” (9780593109823)
  • “The Snowy Nap” (9780399170737)
  • “The Mitten” (9780399252969)
  • “The Hat” (9780399231018)
  • “The Night Before Christmas” (97803992567007)
  • “Gingerbread Baby” (9780399234446)

If time allows, Jan Brett will sign personalizations: name only. Crowd size will determine if this is possible.

Crowd size dictates how many books can be signed per ticket. Often this only allows one book per ticket. However, we encourage you to make strategic signing line plans with friends. Of course, we have signed bookplates for the rest of the purchases.

When you pick up your pre-purchased book at the event, Books-A-Million will give you a wristband with a number for the signing line. Numbers will be based on the order in which books are picked up on the day of the event, not in the order in which they were ordered.

We have beautifully designed signed Jan Brett bookplates for anyone not able to join the line.

Crowd size will determine whether there is time for Jan Brett to sign pre-ordered books for customers who are not able to attend the event. If we run out of time, we can provide signed bookplates for your order.
