Artist and author Jan Brett was born December 1, 1949. Celebrate her birthday week by reading one of her many books and by sending her birthday greetings. In honor of the season, why not share her new picture book,
Home for Christmas, a story about a naughty troll, with your family, as well as
Jan Brett's Christmas Treasury. The
Treasury contains seven of Jan Brett's most popular stories, each of which was originally published as an individual picture book. All of the stories take place in winter. Four are Christmas stories.
The Three Snow Bears is another of her picture books set in winter. It's a retelling of "Goldilocks and the Three Bears," set in a traditional Inuit village. Send birthday greetings to Jan Brett by clicking on "Comments" below and posting a message. I will forward your comments to her next week.
