Book Synopsis

Annie the Adventurer beautifully captures the entire circle of life, and while it does discuss loss and grief, it is not meant to be sad. It is also not meant to be solely a children's book. It is a story that is woven together by three generations of women: Anne Jensen- Annie- the grandmother of the author, and the great grandmother of the illustrator, and is written for anyone that needs to feel hope, comfort, promise, excitement, or just a little bit of wanderlust.

Review Quotes

"Annie the Adventurer will hit you in the heart chakra and spark big question discussions like 'How do I want to live my life? What kind of stories will they tell about me when I'm gone?' I can't recommend it enough." - Stephanie Cariker

"As a parent, I have always felt that Children's Literature should be engaging first and foremost, but should also encourage further development, curiosity, and exploration. Annie the Adventurer does just that. It invites young readers to dream, explore and to create and shows them that their art matters, is important and should be encouraged. Annie also serves as a wonderful vehicle for families to explore challenging topics such as the loss of a family member, life changes, and personal faith in a very light manner and with fun prose, which is refreshing and much needed." - Nathan Clawson
