Welcome!
Hi, I’m Jess, an Australian children’s author and former speech pathologist. I write stories that celebrate imagination, inclusivity and the wonderfully different ways we see and experience the world.
My books include the CBCA Notable Bernie Thinks in Boxes, Train of Thought, A Hat for Every Harriet and Starfish Can’t Ride Bikes!, with more stories on the way.
Want to explore my books or find out more about me? Have a look around.
“Jess is one of my favourite writers for children. Her stories are inclusive, super fun but full of genius, lightbulb moments … celebrating those gorgeous neurodivergent kids and adults … she smashes stereotypes and creates an exciting story that everyone will want to read.”
