ABOUT ME
J.R. Fellman
I am an author and illustrator of whimsical and imaginative children's storybooks featuring the delightful farm animals and cherished pets that have enriched my life.
Otherwise known as Jan, I'm a busy wife, mother and grandmother. Inspired by my grandchildren's boundless energy and love for stories, I've crafted several books that will nurture young hearts, spark imagination and inspire a joy for learning.
In addition to the fictional stories, I also have a soon-to-be-published book about Farm Life and the mishaps and excitement along the way as my husband and I, both new to the endeavor, delve into raising sheep, owning horses, donkeys, llamas and so much more.
My Christian values guide my commitment to provide heartwarming stories that promote the timeless values of kindness, perseverance, honesty and faith.
