ABOUT JENA BENTON LASLEY
-
I have been a lifelong admirer and reader of picture books. I am now an elementary school teacher in Alaska who loves to read those same books to my students, and I’m also passionate about writing and illustrating them.
ARTIST STATEMENT
I have written in many genres before focusing on children’s books. I have published movie reviews, newspaper articles, and poetry. I do not limit myself to any one genre, but allow my writing to go where it needs to flow naturally. I have also published a cartoon series in my hometown high school and college newsletters.
