Betty Debnam profiles Jon Scieszka, author of Math Curse, noting his career switch from medical studies to writing. He earned a Columbia master in fiction, once wrote for magazines, and worked as a house painter. His books blend math history and fairy tales with humor.
Jon Scieszka taught first grade through eighth grade and found a second grade level humor in books. He wrote with Lane Smith on The True Story of the 3 Little Pigs by A Wolf, facing initial rejection before eventual success and a Caldecott Honor in 1992. He urges kids to write daily and think for themselves.
