Janette Sebring Lowrey (March 2, 1892 – March 17, 1986)[2][3][4] was an American children's writer, best known for the book The Poky Little Puppy.[5] As of 2001,[update] The Poky Little Puppy was the single all-time best-selling hardcover children's book in the U.S., having sold nearly 15 million copies.[6] While the book has outsold many other famous books such as Dr. Seuss' Green Eggs and Ham, Lowrey herself (who also wrote stories about children in her home state of Texas) remained in relative obscurity until her death.[7]
