關於作者：
With over thirty four million books in print, Jan Brett is one of the
nation''s foremost author illustrators of children''s books. Jan lives in a
seacoast town in Massachusetts, close to where she grew up. During the summer
her family moves to a home in the Berkshire Hills of Massachusetts.
As a child, Jan Brett decided to be an illustrator and spent many hours
reading and drawing. She says, "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."
As a student at the Boston Museum School, she spent hours in the Museum of
Fine Arts. "It was overwhelming to see the room-size landscapes and towering
stone sculptures, and then moments later to refocus on delicately embroidered
kimonos and ancient porcelain," she says. "I''m delighted and surprised when
fragments of these beautiful images come back to me in my painting."
Travel is also a constant inspiration. Together with her husband, Joe Hearne,
who is a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, Jan visits many different
countries where she researches the architecture and costumes that appear in her
work. "From cave paintings to Norwegian sleighs, to Japanese gardens, I study
the traditions of the many countries I visit and use them as a starting point
for my children''s books."
