Alice McLerran

Alice McLerran has been publishing internationally since her career began. The Mountain That Loved a Bird – her first picture book – appeared with the original art in Japanese, Finnish, Spanish, German and French translation, and with new art in Russia. More recently, it was reillustrated twice more: first in Pakistan, then in India. With the art developed for India it is now published also in Lebanon and Turkey. Her second picture book, Roxaboxen, received a Southwest Book Award and has been translated into Spanish, Japanese, Urdu, and Korean. Other titles have also received honors, and in 2005 Alice was chosen for the Judy Goddard Arizona Children’s Author Award.

Alice’s earlier background includes research and teaching in anthropology, and program evaluation in the mental health field. She now combines writing with sharing global travels with her husband, a physicist. When in the U.S., they enjoy homes on both coasts – one near the sea in New York, the other in the mountains of Oregon.
