Meet Jen Fier Jasinski

Jen Fier Jasinski

Jen is the debut author of My Piano, an exploration of the workings of a grand piano as told through the eyes of a young child preparing for a recital.

The cumulative structure should satisfy curious readers who want to know how the interconnected parts of a piano work together, from the pedal pressed to the ground to the keys that hoist the hammers. Illustrated by Anita Bagdi, this story is a musical treat for students, teachers, and music enthusiasts alike.

And since we love Jen's writing so much, we've taken on another one of her lyrical projects, Sidewalk Chalk, with a sparsely-worded text and heavy use of onomatopoeia. Together with Lea Marie Ravotti's illustrations, this story will leave readers wanting to linger on its pages time and again.
