Betty Flocken with Elizabeth Wein in 1968. Photo courtesy of Elizabeth Wein. In 1972, when I was seven years old, I lived in Jamaica. My ­Pennsylvanian grandmother, Betty Flocken, sent me a new book every month. When Beverly Cleary’s Ellen Tebbits arrived, I read it in a single afternoon. That day inspired me to become a children’s author. When I headed to Yale at seventeen, I was already working on what would become my first published novel, The Winter Prince.
