Cynthia Jensen studied art education. She taught art at the elementary school level and has dedicated her life to working with children. Cynthia now works from her studio in beautiful Arizona, over-looking the Colorado River. She loves to write, paint, and make wheel-thrown pottery, when she's not busy being a grandma. The thing she loves most about writing and illustrating children's books is seeing the happiness and joy they bring to the children that read them.
First and foremost most my goal as a writer is to spread light, love and happiness. As children and adults read my books I want for them to know that they are loved. I want them to realize that no matter their differences or struggles, every person is important and has a unique purpose and that when we share our love and talents with others we make the world a brighter and a better place.
I want for each of my books to mean something. Whether they are fun or more serious, my goal is that the reader and the child being read to, will each come away a better person for having read it. Except for our example, what greater way to teach a child than by reading to them. Some of my most cherished memories as a child are from sitting with my parents or grandparents being read to from a good book.
I have written three more books, one of which I’m currently illustrating.
