Jacqueline
Briggs Martin is a native of Maine, where she grew up on a dairy
farm. After moving to Iowa she taught preschool, raised a son and
a daughter, and began to write. Her first books (three Bizzy
Bones books) launched her career in children's literature. In
addition to her Bizzy Bones books she has written a dozen or more
picture books, including the Caldecott Award winning Snowflake Bentley. Her most recent title The Chiru of High Tibet took her to the high plateau in Tibet—a most interesting story in itself.
