About Janalyn Books
Lydia, Janalyn and Anastasia were born in Ukraine, adopted and brought to the United States when they were 3, 4 and 5. Just a few years later, on the way to kindergarten Lydia asked "What would happen if the whole world turned upside down except for me?" What would happen if . . . became a frequent dinnertime conversation. That summer, on a road trip to Kansas to visit their grandmother the conversation came up again. One of the girls came up with one of the rhymes in the book and then another and another. Their Mom, Lynn Ellen Doxon wrote it all down, they got their friend Terry Norcross to illustrate it and created The World Upside Down.
