One of the best parts about our trip to the ballet today was that we got that news from the illustrator herself - Robin Preiss Glasser. I didn't think to bring my camera with, so we don't have a picture of that conversation, but here is Ailey with her autographed Fancy Nancy book.
We also enjoyed telling Ms. Glasser that Ailey's favorite book a few years ago was Garrison Keillor's "Daddy's Girl", which was illustrated by her too - it was Ailey's go-to book at reading time for at least a year when she was around 2 years old, and she could read it front to back from memory.
Ailey really enjoyed the ballet today, so we're both now looking forward to our next one!
