Things you probably don't know about children's author Jan Brett: She tools around the country on a rockin' tour bus painted to look like her book The Easter Egg; it takes her about a year to write a 32-page story; she has sold roughly seven times more books (35 million) than there are hairs on the average human body (5 million); and at 5 tonight, she's speaking and signing at Borders (1710 Briargate Blvd., 266-1600). Show up early for a ticket, and after, head to Colorado College to check out Washington state poet laureate Samuel Green at 7 in the Gates Common Room (1025 N. Cascade Ave., coloradocollege.edu/news_events). — Bryce Crawford
