Children’s Author/Illustrator Jan Brett
Jan Brett is one of the nation’s foremost author/illustrators of children’s books. Currently, she has over thirty-nine million books in print! Growing up near the ocean in Massachusetts, Jan decided to become an illustrator as a child and spent many hours drawing and reading.
“I remember the special quiet of rainy days when I felt that I could enter the pages of my beautiful picture books. Now I try to recreate that feeling of believing that the imaginary place I’m drawing really exists. The detail in my work helps to convince me, and I hope others as well, that such places might be real.” – Jan Brett
