Because He Loves Us: A Walk with Grandma

Children’s Book | Self-Published | Written & Illustrated by the Author | 2025

Because He Loves Us: A Walk with Grandma is a mission-driven, faith-based children’s book inspired by intergenerational storytelling and lived experience. The book emerged from decades of conversations during walks and playtime with children and grandchildren, where questions about life and faith were often answered with the simple refrain, “Because God loves us.” Completed and published in 2025, the book reflects more than 35 years of reflection, memory-keeping, and spiritual intention.

In addition to her work as an author and illustrator, Jennifer participates in community literacy and service initiatives. She volunteers with the YMCA Cornerstone Project as an ABC Reader, reading to children monthly in support of early literacy. She is writing a second children's book and autobiography.
