I need your help. My publisher, Henry Holt, just sent ten copies of my book, My Travelin’ Eye, that I need to find homes for. Perfect timing for the holiday season! I’m looking for ten places to send them to: children’s hospitals who have libraries, a shelter or community center, special ed or art therapy [...]

It’s not every day you feel like a rockstar. In fact, I think this is the only time in my 35 years I’ve felt like one, and it’s all because of a SUPA groovy 5 year old named Lucy. Last month, her family was going on a cross country road trip, and she asked her [...]

Connie Gotsch of the radio show Write On Four Corners here in the SW interviewed me last September about my first book, My Travelin’ Eye. It was finally broadcasted today! I was super nervous and had major morning sickness goin’ on when she called…so I was a bit clumsy with my words at first…but I [...]

Hey there! Sorry for the lack of creative posts lately–I’ve been consumed with some great new projects, as well as my next book. All is really awesome though! I love Fall. The aspens have formed lemon rivers streaming down the mountains, the oaks are pumpkin-burgandy, the cottonwoods are mustardY, and the junipers are filled with [...]

Wow. I’m so honored–Mark and Andrea just posted a fun podcast about My Travelin’ Eye!

Hello 2nd and 3rd grade students!
It’s me, Jenny Sue. I heard that my book, My Travelin’ Eye, found its way into your classrooms. I hope you enjoyed it! Did you know that story is about me? Remember the little green bird outside the classroom window? That was my bird, Cracker, and I really found him [...]

Picture a beautiful day, all sunny and warm with fresh snow frosting the mountain tops. You are surrounded by so many people (both familiar and new) smiling and laughing and coloring–all sharing in a dream of yours come-true. What could possibly be better? You feel so supported and loved and simply, HAPPY. If you can [...]

If you’re in or near Taos, New Mexico this Saturday, April 12th, come join me at Twirl Toystore & Kidspace from 11am – 12pm for a My Travelin’ Eye release party. Twirl is the coolest place, imagined up by 5 moms and 8 kids. (Thanks for your support, Twirl!) It’ll be one hour of pure [...]

Woohoo! My Travelin’ Eye is out! It’s a real book, hard bound and all. Hee. hee. It’s so surreal. I still remember the day my editor left the message on my machine. She called the day she got my dummy to say she wanted to publish it. I kept that message for almost 2 years [...]
