Jenna Beatrice has worked as a writer, a lawyer, and a space camp
counselor. She adores libraries and has visited many around the
world. Her favorite sound is the flip of a picture book
page, and her favorite stories make her giggle out loud. She lives
in New Jersey with her husband and their young son. The Loud
Librarian is her debut picture book.
Erika Lynne Jones loved the opportunity to hold new books
when she was growing up. She relished the time spent reading in
libraries, book mobiles, and bookstores. In fact, you can still
find her hanging out in libraries and stores quietly
gathering inspiration for books she is writing and/or illustrating.
The Loud Librarian is Erika's debut picture book. She lives
in the Dallas, Texas, area. Find out more at ErikaLynneJones.com or

"In possession of vocal cords so loud they are registered by the
International Space Station, would-be student-librarian Penelope
struggles to reconcile her volume with the need for a "library
voice" in Beatrice's over-the-top story. . . Jones's scenes lean
fully into the chaos while showcasing Penelope's cheerful
resilience, and a clever conclusion emphasizes the idea that
there's a place for everyone at the library." -- Publishers
Weekly
"Character diversity is present and prominent throughout the pages
. . . fun to read aloud. . . Recommended." -- School Library
Connection
"Finally, the secret's out: librarians can be loud! . . . Jones's
mixed-media and collage illustrations are playful and eye-catching,
with a three-dimensional feel. Penelope's shouts explode across the
page in giant speech bubbles. . . This one is sure to be a
storytime favorite." -- The Horn Book
"The bright, blocky illustrations are pitch-perfect for the tone .
. . This tale of an aspiring librarian is ideal for all kinds of
storytimes." -- Kirkus Reviews
