Jan Brett is a children’s author who writes and illustrates picture books. She lives in a sea coast town in Massachusetts. When Jan Brett was young she spent a lot of time drawing and reading. She went to school at The Boston Museum School.

Jan Brett uses bright colored pencils and ink for her illustrious. Her writing style is creative fiction and fantasy. In most books there is a border. That is because her illustrations spill out onto the page. Usually there are clues in the border. Jan has a pet hedgehog named Buffy who often appears in the border. At first her publisher didn’t want borders. A lot of her books involve animals and snow.
Some books Jan Brett has written are The Hat, Fritz and the Beautiful Horses , The Owl and the Pussy Cat, The Night Before Christmas, The Gingerbread Baby and The First Dog.
