About The Author

Jackie Cano

As a mother of three incredible children, Jackie’s storytelling journey blossomed naturally at home. What began as spontaneous bedtime talesโ€”whispered under blanket forts and shared during long car ridesโ€”quickly became treasured family moments her little ones couldn’t get enough of.

Like many parents who discover unexpected talents through motherhood, Jackie’s impromptu stories evolved from a cherished family pastime into something worth sharing with a broader community of young readers and their families.

Jackie balances fun plots and relatable characters with meaningful lessons when creating her stories, leaving children delighted and enriched by the journey.

While she likes to experiment with various writing styles, rhyming is her absolute favourite as she feels there’s something magical about the rhythmic flow of words that captivates young listeners.

Beyond her writing desk, Jackie’s creativity flows through other channels, too. Her sewing projects and handcrafted creations carry the same imaginative spirit as her stories, bringing her unique vision to life in multiple forms that children can see, touch, and experience.
