Description
Today we are chatting with children’s author, Jennifer Elvgren. A former print journalist, Jennifer’s children’s books have received the Andersen Prize, The Américas Award, The Prairie Pasque Award, a Sydney Taylor award, and a Jane Addams award. Her work has also appeared on the ALA Children’s Notable Book and Bank Street College Best Books lists. When she was asked to write a children’s biography about Helen, Jennifer accepted with a happy heart. She tried to tell Helen’s story beyond the well-house pump and highlight her support of Suffragists, the African American community and her world-wide work for people with disabilities. Jennifer lives in Albemarle County, Virginia, with her family, Bronte the rescue Foxhound, Chance the rescue cat, Winslow the rescue donkey and Gatsby the American Paint horse.
