More About Me
Fairy Magic
Part of fairy magic is that it is a secret. So, I'm not going to tell all my secrets. You may like to know that my name, besides The Book Fairy, is Jillian. Just Jillian. I have a wonderful friend, Laurie Brown, who helps me with my website and all my appointments. Below is some information about her if you are interested.
About the Book Fairy's friend
My name is Laurie Brown and I am a storyteller, mom, writer, plus a lot more. I have volunteered to read every week in my children's classrooms at school since they were small.
That is how I met the Book Fairy. I wanted to do something to get the kids excited about reading. What could be more exciting than having THE Book Fairy come visit, sprinkle her fairy dust, and tell you all about her job?
Book Fairs and Grade Levels
What began as fun for my kids's classes one year, expanded to the whole grade level the next year, and eventually the whole school.
The Book Fairy has been in every grade level from pre-scool to 5th grade. (Yes, 5th graders love to see the Book Fairy, even if they are too cool to admit it.)
Work and Play
I am also a children's writer. I volunteered as the Regional Advisor for the Southwest Texas Chapter of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) for the past 3 years. I am still active in the chapter.
Professionally, I am a Licensed Physical Therapist and work in the schools with Special Education students in San Antonio, Texas.
My other interests include teaching Bible Class at my church, and Girl Scouts - where I have been a leader for the past 9 years. I have a daughter in tenth grade, twin sons in sixth grade, and a wonderful husband who supports all my crazy activities and dreams.
