About the author
Jessica Lee Anderson
67 books32 followersI was born in Phoenix, Arizona, although my family didn't stay there long.
My father served in the Air Force and we soon moved to Texas. Honolulu,
Hawaii was our most exotic station. I'll never forget the excitement of
winning a hula competition. Those who know me now would never guess I
had that kind of coordination.
When we moved back to San Antonio, Texas, I missed the Aloha State, but
books served as a great distraction. Around that same time, I wrote my first
book, Fuzzy the Fox. I tried to write my first novel in high school. The
story had a strong beginning and a promising ending, but the middle of the
book ruined it all. Even though the book was not a success, the experience
taught me much about the writing process, especially about revision.
In college, I took a children's literature course that inspired me to write
books for children and teens I eventually went on to graduate from Hollins University with an M.A. in children's literature. In addition to my book publications, I've written magazine articles for Highlights for Children, Wee Ones Magazine, and Holiday Crafts 4 Kids. In addition to writing, I also teach at the Institute of Children's Literature.
I love to read, and some of my favorite authors are: Mildred Taylor, Han
Nolan, David LaRochelle, S.E. Hinton, Karen Hesse, Judy Blume, Avi, Eoin
Colfer, and Christopher Paul Curtis. The list could go on and on!
I live north of Austin with my supportive husband, Michael, and my dogs
Buster and JoJo. When not writing, Michael and I enjoy traveling and have
a goal to travel to as many national parks as possible.

I recently had the opportunity to review the informational children’s book, Ball Pythons by Jessica Lee Anderson ! 🐍 💜🖤💚
This book is one that I would suggest for anyone interested in learning more about ball pythons. The photographs show the variety of colors and patterns that are possible to obtain by breeding domestic ball pythons. The information contained shares basic information about ball pythons, but it also covers several of the more common questions that new pet owners have. While this book is NOT a guide on how to care for your pet ball python, there is plenty of information out there on that topic and this book does a fabulous job providing a factual overview of ball pythons while also dispelling some common myths associated with the species (and snakes in general).
Thank you to Jessica for providing me with a digital review copy of this title in exchange for an honest review. 💜
