Author signing!

Yesterday, we went to a book signing by author Barry Jordan, Jr. at Books A Million, Potomac Mills. As expected, we had a great time meeting both Barry Jordan, Jr. and Sr., who are a couple of amicable family men. I had the added bonus of being able to explain to my son how stories and pictures go from being a person's idea to being a fun book.

We bought Barry Jordan, Jr's children's book Grandma! Can I Get a Dog? and had a lot of fun reading it on the way home, and then again after a much needed nap. The book is pretty silly (Grandma offers Boy some dog biscuits at the pet store) and has what all good children's books need: fun art. Thanks to the author and BAM for the event! We hope to see more from Mr Jordan!
