Janette Sebring Lowrey (March 2, 1892 – March 17, 1986)[1][2][3] was an American children's writer, best known for writing the beloved children's classic, The Poky Little Puppy.

Life

Janette Sebring Lowrey was born in Orange, Texas. Lowrey wrote dozens of books aimed at children and young adults from the 1930s to the 1970s, but The Poky Little Puppy remains her best known, selling over 15 million copies worldwide. Another well-known work of hers was Margaret, a historical fiction young adult novel, which was published in 1950.
