Jean began her career with the bestselling safety books that feature a dragon, and since then has published the picture books The Red Sash, Marja’s Skis, Once Upon a Northern Night, I Found Hope in a Cherry Tree for children and the novel The Lightkeeper’s Daughters for adults. Jean will share her love of writing for children in this one hour long zoom session.
