Jackie and has complete her next published work create “Sharp Bites and other Pesky Poems"

Children's book author J.S. Jenson's latest book, Sharp Bites and Other Pesky Poems, takes on the tweenage years giving them an opportunity to laugh out loud about everything from surviving middle grade math to eating spaghetti with a spoon. There is even a poem about a pickle making a break for the door.

"My goal with this book is to let readers of all ages know that all words, big and small, can be seriously funny! Words are just puzzle pieces arranged on a page to convey a particular thought. Words are just tools, though. The same words can be assembled in very different ways to come up with very different ideas.

So, keep writing, editing and moving around your words to create an awesome poem of your own. Yodel your own yaks or describe what a selfie means to you in 100 words or less! Who knows, maybe you’ll craft a hilarious poem that will make your parents go “yuk!” and your friends go “yeh!”"

Jackie and Illustrator Megan Hagel collaborated to create “Jon and the Soggy Leaf”.

“Megan and I are so excited to see this book come to life. Our goal is to use its vibrant pictures and rhyming voice to get kids excited to read, write and draw on their own.”

'Had a wonderful time signing books and doing a reading of Jon and the Soggy Leaf at Ferguson Books and Media in Grand Forks. Thanks to everyone who came out and shared punch and cookies with "Jon" and I.
