Jane Sutcliffe grew up in Providence, RI in the days when library fines were a penny. She is a children's book author, biographer, in-demand school visit presenter, and the owner of a very spoiled dog named Willy. Her acclaimed nonfiction books include AMELIA EARHART, MILTON HERSHEY, WALT DISNEY and THE ATTACK ON PEARL HARBOR. Look for her first picture book, LEONARDO'S MONSTER, due out next year.
