New Author from Vacaville, CA Checks Off "Publish a Book" from Bucket List

"Knee High to a Grasshopper," Janet Chancellor's children's book of poems portraying the innocence, naivety and joy of three sisters growing up in 1950s small-town America, has been released by RoseDog Books.

Written from the perspective of a four-year-old, "Knee High to a Grasshopper" is poetry that kids, parents and grandparents will all enjoy reading-time and time again. More than a nostalgic reminiscence of yesterday, "Knee High to a Grasshopper" is a relevant read for children of today.

This delightful gift invites you to step back from the hustle and bustle of today's busy lifestyle and enjoy the freshness of a more simple, more slowly paced time.

About the Author:
Janet Chancellor comes from a family with a five generation history in Vacaville, California. Her parents, both deceased, were prominent in Vacaville. Her mother, Kay, was active in the Vacaville Art League, and her father, Ted Chancellor, served as mayor in the early 1960s.

Janet's first book "Knee High to a Grasshopper" was written in 1963 and later illustrated by her twin, Janice Chancellor (Benoit), as a college project. Janice, an elementary school teacher from Redding, California, was recently recognized by her district as Teacher of the Year. Publishing this book was a check off the old bucket list.

Aside from writing, Janet has forty years of experience in decorating. Working as a Branch Director for Home Interiors & Gifts from 1974 to 2008, Janet led the top producing team of over 4000 design consultants. In 2008, she co-funded Cozy Chic Design & Home Staging, a flourishing redesign and staging business which she owns today as sole-proprietor.

Janet lives with her husband, Ron Davison, in Vacaville. She has one daughter, Becky, and two dogs -Willa Mae and Ernie.
