WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT JANE

“Jane Treat was such an asset to Scholastic!  Her storytelling talents brought book talks to life and excited students and teachers alike around new titles.  Her passion was contagious and she sparked the love of reading for many children as she found the right books to put in their eager hands.”   

Lici McCuistion, Consultant – North Region, Scholastic Book Fairs

 "Anything that changes the language and beliefs we have about midlife is a  really, really good thing -- because...our beliefs have a profound effect on our biology and thus our experience. So I love the way you reframe "middle age" to "middlehood." And also encourage women to tell themselves a new, empowering story. As you say, not a fairy tale - but a truly empowering new story full of possibilities...Bravo. Well done!!"    

Christiane Northrup, MD (About "Women & Middlehood: Halfway Up the Mountain

“Jane has taken a moment in my life and expressed my feelings, some too profound to understand at the time. This story will always take me back to those moments on Mt. Kilimanjaro, where I realized my own mortality. I learned how small I am and to appreciate every moment. Thank you so much, Jane.”    

Renee O’Connor, Actor, Director

“Jane’s knowledge and joy for all things stories and books has built the foundation of a love for reading for countless children. She radiates a pure light that is both welcoming and comforting. You can’t help but to hold on to every word of kindness, fun, and wisdom that she has to share with the rest of us!”  

Jessie Hill, Parent, Staff, Littleton Public Schools, Littleton, CO    

“Jane’s stories are wonderfully larger than life…”                    

Karen Howard, Producer, Charlotte’s Web for the Performing Arts, Rockford, IL 

“It is rare to cross paths with someone who not only possesses a beautiful grasp of the English language, but also the envious ability to connect with children at their very essence. Jane is a gift to all children who long to be seen, heard and reminded of their preciousness.” 

Megan Jensen, M.A., Family Support Professional, Raise the Future, Denver, CO 

"Some of her best stories are direct recountings of her own adventures, many of which have almost mythological overtones.”   

Jillian Hershberger, Librarian, Takoma Park, MD  

“I liked the combination of traditional stories and real-life stories that Jane shared. They helped my students see themselves as storytellers with their own stories to tell.”
