I found your comment when looking up Janette Sebring Lowrey. I an 52 years old and grew up on “The Pokey Little Puppy.” I am a seventh generation resident of Orange, Texas, on the border of Louisiana. I am a former editor of the daily newspaper, an amateur historian and a freelance writer. I was astounded to learn about 15 years ago that Janette Sebring Lowrey once lived in Orange and one of her children’s books, “Rings on Their Fingers and Bells on Their Toes,” was based on Orange. Unfortunately, the people who would remember her have long passed and I have had a hard time finding any biographical information on her. Isn’t that strange, especially considering she wrote the bestselling children’s book of all times. Do you know anything about her and if so, could you pass it along. I will let you know if I find anything. If we get enough information, our history museum would like to display something about her. However, our history museum, along with the public library, are still closed and being repaired after sustaining heavy damage as the eye of Hurricane Rita passed over us on Sept. 24.
