Her first forays into writing included the production of a musical she wrote in the first grade about vegetables\, and the publication of a newspaper for her apartment building at the age of 10. A veritably precocious child\, Jane was born in New York City but during her childhood\, her small family moved to California\, then back to New York\, and then to Connecticut. She graduated seventh in her high school class (although she believes that if she’d worked a little harder she may have been third) and attended Smith College\, where she won poetry and journalism awards and again wrote the class musical. \nAfter college Jane moved back to New York City where she worked as an editor and wrote during her lunch breaks and on the weekends. She considered herself a poet and journalist\, but to her surprise she became a children’s book writer and sold her first book\, Pirates in Petticoats on her 22nd birthday. Since then she has published around 420 books and received numerous awards\, including a Golden Kite Award\, National Book Award nomination\, a Caldecott Medal for Owl Moon\, and most recently\, the Sydney Taylor Body-of-Work Award. \nJane has three children and six grandchildren. She lives in western Massachusetts\, Mystic Ct. and has a house in Scotland.
