Sharlee Mullins Glenn

Sharlee grew up on a farm in northeastern Utah. She graduated from Brigham Young University and then completed a master's program there in Humanities with emphases in English and Art History. She taught at BYU for a number of years before turning her focus to writing.

Sharlee has published articles, essays, poems, and short stories for adults in periodicals such as Women’s Studies, The Southern Literary Journal, and Segullah. Her primary focus, though, is writing for children. Her stories have appeared in Cricket and Ladybug magazines and she has written three picture books: One in a Billion (Horizon), Keeping up with Roo (G. P. Putnam’s Sons), winner of the Dolly Gray Children’s Literature Award, and Just What Mama Needs (Harcourt), featured on the EMMY award-winning PBS children's show, Between the Lions. Her most recent publication is a nonfiction picture book entitled Library on Wheels: Mary Lemist Titcomb and America's First Bookmobile (Abrams).

Sharlee Glenn and her husband, James, are the parents of five above-average children and three perfect grandchildren. They live in Pleasant Grove, Utah. Sharlee loves books, hiking, yoga, parentheses, and all things chocolate.
