About The Author
Frane Lessac
Frané Lessac lived for many years on the Caribbean island of Montserrat. She is the author-illustrator of numerous books for children, including My Little Island, which was a Reading Rainbow selection.
She says, “What inspires me most about the Caribbean is the freshness of the scenery, the wonder, whimsy, and general fun. In Island Counting 123, I tried to capture the simple beauties of that radiant world in words and paint.”
Frané Lessac now lives in Australia with her family.
