I hope someone can pass this on to the authors, especially the amazing Eva Ibbotson! Fran

After the speech, President Obama stopped inside the bookstore and, according to the Associated Press, spent $37.44 on three books: The Secret of Zoom (Henry Holt Children's) by Lynne Jonell and Journey to the River Sea (Dutton Children's) by Eva Ibbotson, and a Star Wars pop- up book. He also posed for this rather amusing photo. WaPo Political Bookworm blog
