My Violin (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781957655611)

Jen Fier Jasinski spent much of her childhood reading books and imagining new worlds. Unwilling to let go of Story Time, she grew up to become a teacher, mother, and author. Now Jen writes stories with elements of humor, heart, and above all, play. She is the author of Sidewalk Chalk, My Piano, My Violin and Because of You, I'm a Sister. My Piano earned a starred review from School Library Journal.

When she's not writing, Jen can be found on the sidewalks of Burke, Virginia either running or playing with her kids. Jen invites you to visit her online at www.jenfierjasinski.com.

Anita is a self-taught freelance illustrator, living in Bournemouth, the sunniest part of the UK. Her days are mostly about her neurodiverse family, creating and reading children's books, drinking strong coffee and raising awareness about the climate emergency. With her quirky, whimsical illustrations she loves creating mood, telling stories with heart and important messages, stories that spark further conversations, deeper thoughts, and positive change. She is determined to add her art to missing voices, to help children become more confident in believing themselves.

Anita's first book with Gnome Road Publishing, "My Piano", received a starred review from School Library Journal, and more recently, her picture book with Husna Rahman, "I Lost Something Very Special" won The Best Children's Picture Book Award from DayBreak Press. In her spare time, Anita creates illustrations for climate campaigns with Our Kids Climate that raise awareness and urge climate action. Her visual messages travelled as far as to the Chair of Lloyds of London, COP26, COP27, and many other countries as part of numerous climate art exhibitions.
