USA TODAY Celebrates Jo Ann Kairys, the amazing illustrator behind the beloved Noanie Series

I’ve Been Thinking About...

Talented Jo Ann!

I’ve sung well deserved praises to Jo Ann Kairys many times.  The Noanie Books would not “be” without her. Jo Ann has guided me in her role as a book coach, and so importantly, has supported my work with her talents as an illustrator.  Children’s books come to life through  illustrations.  Jo Ann has breathed life into each of my books.
