Brief description:
Jane Monroe Donovan's parents encouraged her to follow her heart and it led to her love of sketching and painting. Her affection for animals is reflected in much of her subject matter. Jane makes her home in Pinckney, Michigan, with her husband and their two sons, along with a menagerie of pets. Jane is the author and illustrator of Winter's Gift.
Review Quotes: "A good lap time read aloud. The author's paintings of north woods snow scenes are realistic enough to make you shiver."
