75 years old (Born on December 01, 1949)
Happy Birthday, Jan Brett! May your day be filled with more joy than a hedgehog in mittens and warmer wishes than cozy woodland creatures gathered around the fire. Your enchanting stories have whisked generations of readers away on magical adventures—no wonder you've graced The New York Times Children's Picture Book Bestseller List countless times!Congratulations as well for receiving the Lifetime Achievement Award from Boston Public Library—a fitting tribute to someone whose imagination has brightened so many childhoods (and adult hearts too!). Here's hoping this birthday brings you endless inspiration—and perhaps fewer mischievous trolls hiding behind book pages!
