Brett is one of America’s most popular children’s book authors and artists and has brought to life lovable characters in extraordinary settings for millions of children. Her latest, The Turnip, is a rollicking tale of eight animals struggling to pull up a giant turnip from the garden as winter sets in; the author, famous for taking extensive research trips to all corners of the globe for her books, traveled to Russia for The Turnip. Her close study of the countryside has resulted in colorful folk art patterns in her signature borders and Russian folk-style clothing on the animals. Her books have been chosen as “Best Children’s Book of the Year” by The New Yorker, Parents, Redbook, and others. Prior to Brett’s book signing, the author will offer a 15-minute drawing illustration and presentation.
