Janice N. Harrington è una poetessa, educatrice e autrice per l'infanzia le cui opere riflettono le sue radici nell'Alabama rurale e le esperienze nel Midwest. I suoi acclamati libri per bambini includono "Buzzing with Questions: The Inquisitive Mind of Charles Henry Turner", che esplora la vita di uno scienziato nero pionieristico, e il romanzo in versi "Catching a Storyfish", una commovente storia intergenerazionale. Tra gli altri suoi titoli degni di nota ci sono "The Chicken-Chasing Queen of Lamar County" e "Going North", quest'ultimo inserito tra i 10 migliori libri per bambini secondo TIME Magazine e vincitore del premio Ezra Jack Keats Award.
Ex bibliotecaria e narratrice professionista, Harrington trae ispirazione da ricordi personali e figure storiche, unendo prosa lirica a temi culturali ricchi. La sua raccolta poetica "Primitive: The Art and Life of Horace H. Pippin" dimostra la sua capacità di illuminare narrazioni trascurate, mentre le sue opere per bambini celebrano spesso i legami familiari e la curiosità. Harrington attualmente insegna scrittura creativa all'Università dell'Illinois, dove continua a guidare scrittori emergenti mantenendo una carriera editoriale attiva attraverso diversi generi.
