Jan Brett Presents The Christmas Sweater

Please join us as bestselling author and illustrator Jan Brett launches the national tour for her new book, The Christmas Sweater, in Rutland, Vermont on Friday, November 28th!

This event will feature a live drawing demonstration!

This ticketed event, and Jan's only stop in Vermont, will take place at The Paramount Theatre, 30 Center Street, Rutland, VT.

The new Christmas classic from Jan Brett, The Christmas Sweater, features an adventurous boy and an adorable pug in a Christmas sweater who saves the day!

With more than 44 million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the nation’s foremost illustrators of children’s books. As a child, she decided to be an illustrator and spent much of her time reading and drawing. As a student at the Boston Museum School, Jan spent many hours in the Museum of Fine Arts. Travel is also a constant inspiration, so with her husband, Joe Hearne, who was a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, she visits many different countries where she researches the architecture and costumes that appear in her work. Jan lives in a seacoast town in Massachusetts.
