About the author

Born in Rochester, Minnesota, Alison Behnke had the great fortune to live in Rome, Italy, for three years while in grade school. Not only did this introduce her to one of the world’s best and most beautiful cities, it provided her with a wealth of writing material. Even before her Roman holiday, however, Alison always knew that she wanted to be an author. Good teachers, avid reading, and a children's librarian for a mother all fed the fire. Alison went on to take a degree in English with a focus on Creative Writing, and at present count she has written more than forty books. Alison is also a book editor, as well as a photographer. She lives in Minneapolis, and when she's not reading, writing, or editing, she spends her time on pursuits including travel, film photography, listening to Morrissey, and drinking espresso.

Japan in Pictures

This book by Alison Behnke takes you a series of islands in the Pacific Ocean. This book talks about the land, history and government, the people, cultural life, and its economy. This book really digs deep in the story of how japan came to be. This book shows you the different geographic land like mountains and plains. It also tells you about everyday life and where the most of the population inhabits. I would recommend this book to people who love learning about different countries or if you would like to visit this great country sometime I think this book would be a good help.
