The Adventure Behind
The Pages
Lee Hansen was born into an Army family, experiencing life in multiple countries and exploring many more. She graduated with honors, earning a degree in Early Childhood Education and a master’s degree in International Affairs. After a distinguished career as a naval aviator, Lee founded The Global Corner, a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching children about other countries and cultures.
Lee lives in Pensacola, Florida, with her husband. Together, they have five married children and sixteen exceptionally bright grandchildren. Their family home is shared with two beloved dogs, Raven, a Labrador, and Lulu, a Plott Hound.
Globert is the adventurous explorer in Globert Explores Japan, the first book in a series inspired by The Global Corner. Spinning the Amazing Country Wheel, he lands in Japan, where his friend Mitsuki shows him everyday life, traditions, and celebrations, bringing the vibrant culture of the Land of the Rising Sun to young readers.
