Nancy's Bookshelf: Nancy Leek with Jean Ping

Nancy Leek

Local librarian and historian Nancy Leek wrote "John and Annie Bidwell: The Long and Short of It" for children (and adults) about Chico founders John, who was tall, and Annie Bidwell, who was short. The book is illustrated by Steve Ferchaud who joins Nancy in the studio. Ms. Leek's daughter Jean Ping is also a librarian and offers recommendations for reading Russian and African literature.
