Summary: This book is about the author named Janet, and what inspired her to become an author and to write books and poetry. Janet explains how a love for books she discovered as an adult influenced her to write her own, and how books can inspire the reader to do great things too.
Review: This book would be an easy start for the reader into the world of biographies because of the timeline like layout of the story. I do not feel like it would be particularly useful otherwise unless maybe the teacher used it to help the students know mora about the author after reading some of her books. ( )

(autobiography, young adult) This is another book in the Meet the Author series. The book, like the others I have read in the series, offers a refreshing perspective on the featured author, poet or artist. The way the information is presented in a straight forward, immediate manner will keep and capture young adult and primary students attention. A classroom activity would be for students to create a poem of their own, this time using Janet Wong's philosophy and poetic process of writing about everyday things in the form of poetry. ( )
