Biographie de Jeanne Birdsall
When Jeanne Birdsall was young, she promised herself she'd be a writer someday — so she could write books for children to discover and enjoy, just as she did in her local library. The Penderwicks was her first novel, and it won the National Book Award for Young People's Literature. Jeanne lives in Northampton, Massachusetts, with her husband and an assortment of animals, including cats, a snail, and a dog named Cagney.
