About the Author
Jay Leslie
Jay Leslie has always loved to write. Everywhere she goes, she carries a notebook just in case she gets a new idea—most of all, she loves to write the books that she wishes she’d had as a child. Jay grew up in the United States, but now lives in Berlin, Germany, where she spends her time writing novels, learning new languages, and backpacking through the Schwarzwald. Jay’s picture books include Who Did It First? 50 Politicians, Activists, and Revolutionized the World, and Game, Set, Sisters! The Story of Venus and Serena Williams.
