The 12 Days of Valentine's

JENNA LETTICE is a Brooklyn-based children’s book editor. She was inspired to write the 12 Days series by memories of her mother’s preparation for Valentine’s Day, when she would put a small gift for Jenna in a Valentine’s mailbox on each of the days leading up to the holiday.

COLLEEN MADDEN is the illustrator of a number of books for children, including Mariah Carey’s picture-book version of “All I Want for Christmas Is You”. She lives in the Philadelphia area with her husband and two sons.
