Jeannekay Publishing
During Jeanne Styczinski's 30 year career as a kindergarten teacher, Jeanne read thousands of children's picture books and wrote/illustrated many stories in her classrooms. She could see the important role that children's picture books play in students' literacy development and how early connection with pictures books help students develop a love for reading. In 2013, Jeanne felt an urgency to pursue a life-long dream, to write and illustrate picture books for children beyond her classroom. She has created a small publishing company, JeanneKay Publishing , a website she promotes writing and illustrating by presenting to elementary schools/libraries and has self-published three picture books, two that have won a Moonbeam Children's Book Award (2014 Mama, How Does The Wind Start To Blow? and 2015 Papa Why Does The Sun Shine?). Her third book, Who Will Be My Friend? will be released Fall of 2017.
