Reidy, Jean

When Jean Reidy was a kid, she was a reader, a writer, a poet, and a dreamer. She’s happy to still be that kid at heart. Her bestselling and award-winning picture books have earned their spots as favorites among readers and listeners of all ages and from all over the world. Jean is honored to be a Parent’s Choice Gold Award Winner, a Charlotte Zolotow Honor winner, and recognized on “Best of” lists by School Library Journal, the New York Times and NPR.

Jean writes from her home in Chicago, where she lives just a short walk from her neighborhood library … which she visits nearly every day.
