Josephine Pollard (J. P. Pollard) (17 October 1834 – 15 August 1892) was an American hymn writer, author and poet.

Pollard published over a hundred hymns, and wrote numerous popular children’s books mostly on religious and historical topics. She worked as an editor for the Sunday School Times and worked for the Methodist Book Concern, where she edited a magazine intended for African Americans. Pollard also wrote for other children’s magazines such as The Little Corporal. Her poetry was published in a number of magazines including Harper’s Magazine and Scribner’s Magazine, as well as the New York Ledger. Some of her children’s poetry was collected in the book Elfin land published in 1882.

In her children’s books she neither talked over the child’s head nor down to it in tones of condescension. Her works have seen a recent resurgence as early readers, spurred by the home-school movement. - From Wikipedia
