Jenny Gahan is an experienced primary and special education teacher, passionate about sharing her love of reading and writing with children. She writes picture books, both fiction and non-fiction, that encourage children to use their imagination, build their language skills, ask questions, and engage with the world around them.
Jenny's first fiction picture book, A Rainbow of Feathers, was published in 2020. This beautifully illustrated book features Australian birds including a Rainbow Lorikeet, a blue Fairy Wren, a Scarlet Honeyeater, a Yellow Robin, and a green Fig Parrot, and tells the story of a baby lorikeet finding her colours.
Jenny lives in Brisbane, and as a lifelong learner continually seeks to improve her writing through her participation in professional development conferences and workshops.
In addition to reading and writing, Jenny's interests include photography and painting. In the future she plans to visit more of the places that inspire her creativity.
