Author of over 40 picture books with more than 44 million in print, Jan is renowned for her exquisite art which is universally recognized as being among the finest in children’s books today. Her detailed and iconic illustrations are often inspired by her many extensive research expeditions, whether it be to Norway, Botswana, Japan, or India. Jan’s work has been chosen as “Best Children’s Books of the Year” by The New Yorker, Parents, Redbook, and many others. She has been featured in publications like Romper, The Boston Globe, Travel + Leisure, The Los Angeles Times, and more.
