Jan came face-to-face with a mountain gorilla in Rwanda and the experience changed her life.
When she realised there were fewer than 600 mountain gorillas left in the world, she wanted to do something to help, so she decided to publish books for children on endangered animals.
To create the 15 True to Life Books, Jan travelled to China, Borneo, India, Sri Lanka, Uganda, Costa Rica and 10 times to Africa. She followed wild animals, taking photographs and writing about their survival. She is the ‘voice’ of the endangered animals to tell their true to life story.
