Bring Jenny to Your School!

Visits with Jenny Figment are best suited for students in grades 2-5 and include a chapter reading, Q&A session, and interactive fun using our imaginations in the creative writing process!

My brand-new bilingual picture book Lucky Penny is out on September 18th! This heartwarming story of one little street dog's adoption highlights the special connection between a dog and her family, while gently touching on familial bonds and beloved Día de Muertos traditions. I am now scheduling visits for grades k-3, including a reading, discussion of writing inspiration, and a fun, interactive “Adjective Adoption” activity that is sure to get your students’ imaginations flowing!

Best of all, visits are absolutely free (up to two visits; additional visits are $100 each), with no cap on group size, and include an opportunity for students and faculty to pre-order books at a special price (no minimum order necessary, but schools with a minimum of 25 orders will receive a complimentary book for their library!).
