It's only fitting that we launch our Legend of the Week interview series with bonified legendary children's book author and poet, Jane Yolen.
Author: Audrey Day-Williams
Audrey lives in MA with her family, who, while delightful, don’t laugh as hard as they should at her jokes.
When she’s not writing about herself in the third person, Audrey writes picture books, poetry, and the frequent bad mom joke. She’s an enthusiastic member of SCBWI, The Writers' Loft, and Poets’ Garage.
You’ll find some of her whimsical poems floating or dancing in these beautiful poetry anthologies: FRIENDS & ANEMONES--Ocean Poems for Children, AN ASSORTMENT of ANIMALS, and TODAY'S LITTLE DITTY.
