English 240 - Illustrated Books Summer Session II, 1998 Jan Brett (1949- ) Life Brett was born and grew up in Massachusetts and continues to live there, dividing her time between her home in Norwell, along the South Shore, and a summer home in the Berkshires. As a child, she very early decided she wanted to be a picture book illustrator, and she attributes her creativity in part to her mother's encouragement. She says that as a child she "felt drawn into the pages of her picture books" and she tries to achieve the same effect with her own work - "to gain verisimilitude, she uses real people and places as models." ( SATA ) She studied at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School to develop her abilities, and began her career as an illustrator with Woodland Crossings (written by Stephen Krensky) in 1978; she has illustrated several books by Eve Bunting, among others, and has done several adaptations of folk material, including Goldilocks and the Three Bears (1987) and The Mitten (1989). In 1981 she created her first entirely self-generated work

Teachers can get a packet from her. Jan Brett, one of our most popular authors and illustrators, was born on December 1, 1949 in Hingham, Massachusetts. She achieved that status through very hard work. She went to school at Colby Junior College from 1968-1969 and the Boston Museum of Fine Arts School in 1970. Today, she lives in the seacoast town of Norwell, Massachusetts , an historic area on the South Shore, and spends her summers in the mountains where she does a lot of work on her books. She writes her own books and also adapts and illustrates folktales. As an illustrator, she does the illustrations of books by other authors as well. For those of us who love her books, we can appreciate the many hours she spends in putting many details in her books. That's important to her, too. It takes her about a year to finish one book. Jan Brett loved to draw when she was a child. By the time she was six years old, she knew she wanted to be a children's book illustrator. She was shy as a child and liked to use her drawings as a way to express herself. Her very first "all her own" book to be published was

Grades Pre-K+. This review by Carol Otis Hurst first appeared in Teaching K-8 Magazine Review You may know the earlier version of the same basic story by Alvin Tresselt, The Mitten (Lothrop, 1964 ISBN 0-688-51053-1 Library Binding ). Jan Brett has put her own spin on the familiar folk theme of a shelter which stretches to accommodate each new occupant. This time it's a boy, Nicki, who begs his grandmother, Baba, to knit him a pair of white mittens. In spite of her warnings that he will lose them and that they will be hard to find in the snow, he insists and she finally does so. Grandmothers, however, are usually right and it isn't long before we notice, although he does not, that he has dropped a mitten. A mole is the first to discover the mitten lying on the snow and crawls inside, followed by a snowshoe rabbit, a hedgehog, an owl, a badger, a fox, a bear and, finally a mouse.
