Alan and His Perfectly Pointy Impossibly Perpendicular Pinky




















It's going to be a special day at Market Elementary School.  Alan Page, former Vikings player and Minnesota Supreme Court Justice, is coming to visit.  As he settles onto a small chair to read a story, one little boy is transfixed by Alan's little finger that points in an impossible direction.  Finally, he can't help blurting out "What happened to your pinky?" Alan has one of those special teaching moments when he explains how his finger got the way it is.  This special book, written by Alan Page and his daughter Kamie Page, and illustrated by David Geister has been published by the Page Foundation.  This is a uniquely Minnesota story, and proceeds from sales support the foundation and its programs to support education.
