Order of Joan Holub Books
Joan Holub is an American author of children’s books. After graduating from college with a degree in fine arts, she freelanced as an art director for eight years. During this time, Joan would dream of writing children’s books, so she moved to NYC to become an associate art director at Scholastic. She started mailing her manuscripts out in the early 90s and finally sold her first two in 1996. She has collaborated with Suzanne Williams on two series – Goddess Girls and Heroes in Training.
Joan’s first children’s book was Boo Who?, published in 1997, although she had already worked on a sticker book before that. Below is a list of Joan Holub’s books in order of when they were first published:
