Connie Porter-Author of Addy Walker

I had the pleasure to photograph Ms Connie Porter at the Main Detroit Public Library, Old Fine Arts.

Bio:

Connie Porter, author of all six books about Addy Walker in the American Girls Collection, knows a lot about family. Sold more than 3 million copies to date. She has written two adult novels, All Bright Court and Imani All Mine. All-Bright Court was selected by the American Library Association as one of the Best Books of 1991. After all, she is the eighth of nine children. She blends a love of history and her talent for writing about family relationships to bring Addy to life in the time of the Civil War.


The event included a tea party for the young girls and their family, Ms Connie Porter speaking engagement, and the book signing afterwards. It was a fun 2 hours of getting to know the author and lots of prizes give aways. The ultimate prize was the American Doll (See the winner below).
