Guess who came to the local-ish American Girl store the other day?
None other than Lisa Yee! She wrote the latest Girl of the Year Books about Kanani, a Hawaiian girl. She also wrote Millicent Min, Girl Genius, and the subsequent stories relating to it. Oh, and also, she’s awesome. Add to that a few kids who are both American Girl and Lisa Yee fans, and you have the ideal day trip!
Lisa is from California, so it was great to get to see her on our coast! Here she is with the Dubois girls. Amazingly, she is still smiling after having met with approximately five thousand (mostly) little girls, with another thousand still to follow.
Poking around in the American Girl store, we couldn’t help but notice that our pal Mary Beth’s new book was on the shelves there, too! Check out the Paper Shaper Forest Friends, a make-it-yourself book of adorable animals in MB’s signature style.
Yes, Millie thought you should see what the back of the book looks like, too!
I bought some stylin’ shoes while we were there, too.
Doll shoes. Unbearably cute saddle shoes!
They do not fit me. But so help me, I will find the ideal miniature feet for them to fit on.
It’s a shame we don’t have any cats anymore!
You have such a fabulous family — so fun meeting everyone!!! (And your husband was such a good sport to hang out at the American Girl store!)
woohoo! That is just great for Miss Marybeth! It all certainly looks fun…wish i had girls instead of boys
What a great day that must have been! And it’s so awesome that you say MB’s book there too.
Sooooo cooool!!!!!!
