Jane McCarter-Caponigro is a native New Yorker. She was a board member of the PTA and an active volunteer at her children's school.
Jane saw a need for her book, YES, I AM! A to Z, believing that although every child is different, none should ever feel "less than." She wants every child to recognize their abilities and value.
Jane's greatest desire is to be positively changing the lives of children with the powerful words found in her first book. It invites conversation between the adult and the child to share their points of view. Jane encourages curiosity and celebration on both sides of the conversation through the reading of her books. www.yeschildrensbooks.com
