Jeffrey the Jittery Giraffe
Here is a sneak peek of the cover done by my husband, John!
My newest children’s book is now here – Jeffrey the Jittery Giraffe, for ages PS-Grade 3. It is an easy reader for beginner readers and a fun read-aloud book in rhyme for younger children. It carries an important life lesson as do all Jemsbooks for children. Now available on Createspace, Amazon paperback and Kindle, and Barnes & Noble.
This book was written at the request of a woman I met over a year and a half ago at a book signing in Derry, New Hampshire, USA. I hope she will see this and contact me for her grandson’s book.

Jeffrey is a nervous giraffe due to a terrible storm on the day of his birth. He remembers that day and is frightened of any kind of noise or unexpected things happening to him. His mother tells him that he is stronger than he thinks.
One day Jeffrey meets another giraffe who needs his help. Read this story in rhyme and find out what important lesson Jeffrey learns when he thinks of others before himself.
It is on my Amazon Author Page and at my Barnes & Noble Page, also at other online stores.
Please check out all Jemsbooks to the right of this post for your children’s summer time reading. There is something for all ages, even for you parents!
Thank you for stopping by!
Remember to read to your children daily! It’s not only fun for them but fun for you too!
Reading Gives You Wings to Fly! Soar with Jemsbooks this summer!
Blessings & hugs,

Thank you, Maretha, for your kind words! Yes, I am fortunate to have my husband as my illustrator. He may say otherwise! I am a tough taskmaster! LOL! 😆
Well, being such a taskmaster has certainly yielded fabulous results! Kind regards and best wishes with the Giraffes! 🎉🎉
Thank you. We do work well together and respect one another’s work. It can be trying at times but the end results are good. 😆
