As a child in West Bloomfield, Michigan, Jenny Meyerhoff often read a book a night. In third grade, she read ARE YOU THERE GOD? IT'S ME, MARGARET twenty-one times. Her first attempt at a children’s book, THE LEPRECHAUN WHO NEVER FOUND A POT OF GOLD, was written when she was in first grade. From that moment on, Jenny has dreamed of becoming a professional children’s book writer.

Jenny studied creative writing at the University of Michigan, and received her master’s degree in education at Northwestern University. She then became a kindergarten teacher because, in addition to loving children’s books, Jenny enjoys sitting on the floor. (That’s also why she practices yoga.)

Jenny is now a full-time writer and a full-time mom, which means that she never sleeps. She lives in Riverwoods, Illinois, with her husband and three children.
