When Jeanne Birdsall was young, she promised herself she'd be a
writer someday--so that she could write books for children to
discover and enjoy, just as she did at her local library. She is
also the author of The Penderwicks, which won the National Book
Award for Young People's Literature, The Penderwicks on Gardam
Street, The Penderwicks at Point Mouette, and The Penderwicks in
Spring.
Jeanne lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, with her husband and an
assortment of animals, including a dog named Cagney. You can find
out more about Jeanne, her books, and her animal friends at
