Jane O'Connor

Yesterday, we had the opportunity to meet Ms. Jane O'Connor, author of our beloved Fancy Nancy books.

Madyson is all things Fancy Nancy. She loves her big words, her fancy attire, and believes everything is better with glitter.

When I heard that Ms. O'Connor was going to be at a local book store reading the new Fancy Nancy Book "The Mermaid Ballet" I knew we had to go! So I told the girls to get in their fanciest attire and to load up, we were off to meet Ms. O'Connor.

Yes, they are quiet the mess. and that is Aubrie's "mowdal" pose.

 Ms. O'Connor told about how she has 2 sons and no grandchildren (but really wants some!) The inspiration for Fancy Nancy came from her childhood. She showed a picture and it was so cute!

 My mom went with us, to help me crowd control.

The girls followed along in their book as Ms. O'Connor read it to them. It was so interesting hearing the one who created this world read her own story.  Afterwards, we got to meet her and she signed our new book for us! She is a very precious lady. She and madyson hugged and Madyson told her all about her Fancy Nancy Party last year, and how she loves all the books.

 (p.s. Aubrie Kate was playing with my mom, she had no desire to stand in line for 20 minutes)

 and how her and Fancy Nancy are so much alike. and how she loves Frenchie.....

 they had a great conversation and Madyson came home elated!

This is when Ms. O'Connor looked up and said, "SHES ADORABLE"....

It was a great experience!
