About the Author

Janet McCormick brings a unique set of skills and experience to her stories for young learners. With a Master’s degree in Education, five years experience as a preschool director, and fifteen years as a curriculum designer and developer, she knows first-hand about the excitement and challenges of beginning school.

In her earlier roles as mom, grandma, and Miss Janet, she recalls the eagerness of some and the reluctance of others to step into any new situation. With this in mind, Janet created Millie Mermaid as an interactive tool for parents or teachers to encourage children who want to tell their stories as well as those who may be shyer and more hesitant.

Janet is a member of the Society of Children’s Book Writers and Illustrators, and a professional writers’ critique group. She also has an extensive volunteer history with nonprofit educational groups in Virginia, Florida and Arizona – most recently with Tucson’s Make Way for Books, a community-based program to provide books and resources to our youngest children.
