Jan Brett Biography

Jan Brett is a noted American illustrator and author, who has been contributing to the realm of children's picture books since 1978. She has a distinct array of works to her credit that have not only gained popularity among young readers but have also been recognized by various award committees. Brett's portfolio includes well-received titles such as "The Mitten," "The Hat," "Gingerbread Baby," and "Cinders: A Chicken Cinderella."

Recognition of Brett's work is not limited to her readership. Her book "The Three Snow Bears" was a finalist for the Children's Favorites Awards' and the Kids' Book Choice Awards' Illustrator of the Year in 2008. More recently, in 2021, "Cozy" was awarded the Massachusetts Book Award and was named one of the Best Children's Books of the Year by the Bank Street College Center for Children's Literature's Children's Book Committee. The same year, the Catholic Library Association honored Brett with the prestigious Regina Medal.

Further recognition of Brett's contributions to children's literature came in 2023, when the Fenimore Art Museum in Cooperstown, New York, dedicated an exhibition to her illustrations. This exhibition served as a testament to Brett's enduring influence in the field of children's literature, demonstrating her ability to captivate and educate young minds through her vivid illustrations and engaging narratives.
