Autographed Children's Books

Autographed books make great presents.  We do not charge extra for signed or personalized copies. 

We can usually reserve signed or personalized books for you at our events, even if you can't make it to one - just give us a call in advance. And we usually have some signed copies available after an author event.

Here are some of our current supply of signed books.  We'll strive to keep this current, but sometimes a book will sell out suddenly.  If you add a book to your cart, please indicate if you only want it if it is signed.  

Come in and check out our selection.  Not all autographed copies are listed here; we sometimes only have 1 or 2 of a kind.

Who is Ida B. Applewood? She is a fourth grader like no other, living a life like no other, with a voice like no other, and her story will resonate long after you have put this book down. How does Ida B cope when outside forces—life, really—attempt to derail her and her family and her future? She enters her Black Period, and it is not pretty. But then, with the help of a patient teacher, a loyal cat and dog, her beloved apple trees, and parents who believe in the same things she does (even if they sometimes act as though they don't), the resilience that is the very essence of Ida B triumph...and Ida B. Applewood takes the hand that is extended and starts to grow up. This first novel is both very funny and extraordinarily moving, and it introduces two shining stars—Katherine Hannigan and Ida B. Applewood.
