Wednesday Q & J: April 5, 2023

Q: Tell us about the Jane Yolen Cabin at The Highlights Foundation.

J: Many of the cabins at Highlights are dedicate to particular writers who have taught there. And then the author (if alive) sends stuff from their private collections –favorite tea, or hat worn when writing, or books they wrote, or books they love, or trinkets, etc. Then someone–the author, a friend, a daughter (mine), etc. who goes to collate what has been sent. and Viola! now the cabin can be lived in by someone teaching or learning at a Highlights conference.

A note from daughter Heidi: Additionally, there is a Jane Yolen & Heidi EY Stemple scholarship at Highlights for which anyone can apply. For more information about the Jane Yolen Cabin or the scholarship, visit:
