Jan Brett's rich, detailed (and often wintery) picture books are a bedtime staple. She had artistic aspirations for almost as long as she could remember: "From the time I was in kindergarten, I knew I wanted to be a children's book illustrator," she told the PORTSMOUTH HERALD in 2015. Brett's books frequently appear on the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller list, and in many fond childhood memories.
