Elton John: A Little Golden Book Biography

Jennifer Dussling is lucky enough to have been surrounded by great children’s books her whole life. As a teenager, she started working at a children’s-only independent bookstore in Pennsylvania, and after graduating from college, she made her way to New York City, where she took a job as an editorial assistant at a publishing company. Since then, she’s written over fifty books for kids, both fiction and nonfiction, licensed and original, including Bugs, Bugs, Bugs; Pink Snow and Other Weird Weather; Giant Squid; Slinky Scaly Snakes; and One Little Flower Girl. Jen lives in Tampa, Florida, and when she’s not writing or editing, you can find her in her garden, on a volleyball court, or curled up with a good book.

Irene Chan was born and raised in Hong Kong, and came to the US to study when she was 18. She received her BFA in graphic design from the Savannah College of Art & Design. Irene is also the illustrator of Little Golden Book Biographies on Elton John and Dwayne Johnson. She currently lives with her husband and son in Atlanta, Georgia.
