Book Signing Event
Friday night I attended the annual summer book signing fundraiser, given by the Hotchkiss Library of Sharon, CT. It was a delightful evening, with a mix of authors who write for kids and for adults. I had the good luck to get seated at a table next to Jeff Cohen.
Jeff is a reporter at NPR. You’ve probably heard him on the radio—he often covers national stories–but you may also know him because of an interview he did with his own little daughters a few years ago, after five-year-old Sadie cut three-year-old Eva’s hair. That interview went viral. If you have three minutes, do click and listen. It’s utterly adorable.
Now he has an equally adorable picture book about that haircut incident, out with Harper Collins, and a second one on the way. 
I also had a chance to catch up with my fellow kid-lit friend, Elise Broach:
She was signing copies of her latest book, The Miniature World of Marvin James. It’s a Junior Library Guild selection:
And in a stellar example of Burying the Lead: the highlight of my evening was when stopped by my table to buy a copy of Bugged. Sadly, I was all sold out, but I stumbled out from behind my table to have my picture taken with her (thanks, Jeff!), and she was lovely and gracious, despite the fact that I think I was blathering away semi-incoherently about heaven knows what. Here’s a picture:
