Hi I’m Janine and I grew up in England and moved to Australia at the age of 15.
I have always loved reading and writing since I was a child, writing little poems and stories for fun.
I was a social worker for over 20 years working with parents and children from disadvantaged backgrounds. During this time, I developed many programmes aimed at developing the skills of children, parents and educators. For seven years, I managed State Government-funded Child and Parent Centres, where I led allied health teams and worked closely with the Department of Education, and the State Library’s Better Beginnings Programme. During this time, I developed pre-kindy programmes, which have been used within both the state and private school systems. It is through insight gained during this time that I have developed the Read and Grow series, of which Jungle Party is the first to be released.
