More about Nancy Tandon
When I was in fifth grade, my school ran a program where students could have their stories published, complete with wallpaper remnant covers. Through this, my first three picture books were born. Around the same time, I broke my leg and received a blank journal from my parents as a get-well gift. In it, I wrote my first novel, THE TOMATO FAMILY, which was not-so-loosely based on the works of Lois Lenski, my favorite author at the time.
