A propos de l'auteure:

Native de la Louisiane, Jane Singleton grandit sachant que le français constituait une partie intégrante de son héritage familial : ses grand-parents maternels étaient francophones.

Durant les quinze ans pendant lesquels elle exerça le metier de professeur de langue au lycée français de Washington, elle fut plongée dans le monde de la littérature jeunesse, tant anglophone que francophone. Les découvertes qu’elle y fit lui donna envie d'inventer et d'écrire elle-même des histoires.

About the Author:

A native of Louisiana, Jane Singleton grew up knowing that French was an integral part of her family heritage: her maternal grandparents were French-speaking.

During the fifteen years she worked as a language teacher at the French High School in Washington, D.C., she was immersed in the world of children's literature, both English and French. The discoveries she made there inspired her to invent and write stories of her own.
