About the Author
Jan Fearnley was born and raised in the northeast of England, the youngest of six children. Before becoming a full-time writer and illustrator, she worked as a teacher and literacy advocate. She says, "One of the things (among many) that I treasure and adore about children I have known and worked with is their enthusiasm, particularly the sort of unbounded, clumsy, messy enthusiasm that just sweeps you off and carries you away into the joy of the moment, regardless of the consequences. I wanted Wilf to epitomize this." Jan Fearnley is the author of many books for children, including JUST LIKE YOU. She lives in England with her husband and two Cornish Rex cats.
