Amber Harris 
Wisteria Jane 

Say hello to the mostly sweet, but sometimes sour, Wisteria Jane Hummell. Named after her mother’s favorite flower, Wisteria Jane sees the world in her own special way. She tells her friends that her favorite color is ‘rainbow.’ She loves jumping in mud puddles and she desperately wants a pet unicorn. Wisteria Jane’s days are filled with adventures, giggles, bumps, bruises, and some important life lessons.


In her first adventure, Wisteria Jane learns how to be a thoughtful friend as she hones the skill of being honest without adding the ‘not so nice’ truths she is so tempted to share. Through Wisteria Jane’s experiences, children learn important lessons about honesty, friendship, and people’s feelings.

Best-selling illustrator Ard Hoyt has used picture books as an opportunity for exploration since before he could read. Once he realized he could create his own drawings the possibilities were endless. He has illustrated over twenty-five children’s books, including the
New York Times bestsellers
I’m a Manatee by John Lithgow and
The Hair of Zoe Fleefenbacher Goes to School by Laurie Halse Anderson. Ard draws inspiration from his wife and five daughters and their home in Bentonville, Arkansas. His hope is that anyone can open up one of his picture books and travel to a different world.
