Jan Wahl
Biography:

Jan Wahl was born in Toledo, Ohio, and raised in northwest Ohio. Much of his childhood was spent on a farm and in a small town.
Now, widely traveled -- from Lapland to the Sahara and beyond -- Jan has worked with great artists such as Isak Dinesen, Carl Th. Dreyer, Maurice Sendak, William Joyce, and others.
Jan feels that picture books are like little movies and each word must be well chosen, like a haiku. In his books he tries to communicate and to see each day through the eyes of a child.
Several of Jan's books have been set to music, and How the Children Stopped the Wars (Ten Speed Press, 1993) was turned into an opera and has been performed many times. A few of his stories have been animated and another is expected to be adapted as a feature film.
Jan Wahl lives in Toledo, Ohio.
