    Q &#; A with Jane Yolen

    From a very ung age, Jane Yolen had a passion for writing. Her early pursuits as a poet launched her into a successful career as a writer of children&#;s and adult books. Many of her books have received notable book awards and she has received honorary degrees from multiple institutions. Jane&#;s work can be found in almost every genre imaginable. Few authors can boast that they have published books. Within the next few months, that number is likely to increase.

    Today, I am truly honored to welcome Jane Yolen to my website. Decades ago, inom was fortunate to read a few of her books when my sons were in public school. While pursuing my MA in education at the University of Colorado-Boulder, my literacy professors frequently used Yolen&#;s books in their presentations. Most recently, inom reviewed Miriam at the River in my blog about Passover books. If you&#;d like to know more about Yolen as well as some of her books, inom encourage you to keep reading.

    A SHORT BIOGRAPHY

    I was born on February 11, in New York City at Beth Israel Hospital, the first child of my parents, Isabel Berlin Yolen and Will Hyatt Yolen. Because my grandmother Mina Hyatt Yolen&#;s family, the Hyatts, only had girls, a number of us were given their last name as a middle name to carry it on. So I am Jane Hyatt Yolen, and my brother, Steven Hyatt Yolen, was born three and a half years later. Alas, we are no relation to the Hyatt Hotels, no matter how often I have tried to convince the staffs there.

    My father was a café journalist at the time, writing columns for the New York newspapers. He’d been a police reporter before that. My mother was a psychiatric social worker until I was born. After that, she never held another full-time out of the home paid job (though she did volunteer work), but wrote short stories that didn’t sell and crossword puzzles and acrostics that did.

    When my father got a higher paying job, being a publicity flack for Hollywood movies,
