Jane Yolen touched every area of my creative life: my love of books, my approach to teaching, my artwork that tells a story, and my belief that life is beautiful. Thank you, Jane, for all the beauty, insight, and joy you brought to us through your amazing and endearing stories.
My mother, the inimitable Jane Yolen passed away this morning after a blessingly short fight with Alzheimer’s. She did not suffer, and went peacefully into the ether which, I am certain for her, will be filled with words of the most exquisite beauty and meaning.
