Description
In The Mitten, a Ukrainian folktale, a boy named Nicki loses his snow-white mitten. He can't find it in the snow...but the woodland animals do !
Jan Brett decided she wanted to illustrate books when she grew up. As a child she spent many, many hours reading and drawing. Many of Jan Brett's ideas for books come from her childhood memories.
She also travels around the world to research the architecture and costumes that appear in her pictures.
