Author Biography Since I was little that Ive always had an enthusiastic urge to create. Drawing, painting, cardmaking, scrapbooking - you name it, Ive probably tried it too - and it is when Im creating that I find my happy place. Ive graduated with a BA in Communication Design and since then Ive illustrated picture books, edible gifts, created visual identities for small businesses and creative individuals and had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing people on fun and creative projects. I spend my days creating happy and whimsical illustrations and patterns for childrens books and market, as well as, paper & gift products like greeting cards and other creative projects. I take most of my inspiration from nature and food (big foodie here!), but it mainly originates from the ordinary and the imaginary. Using both traditional and digital ends, my work aims to inspire joy and creativity on both kids and kids at heart, while telling a small story on each detail. Jayneen (aka Jay Dale) is an experienced early years educator, author and publisher. She started her teaching career in the 1980s as a primary school teacher in rural Australia. She then moved to Melbourne and taught at a number of inner-city schools. In 1985, Jay had a change of career and became an educational editor and publisher. In the early 90s, Jay and her partner moved to Japan to work as English teachers. They lived and worked in Japan for over three and a half years. In fact, Jays first daughter was born there. On returning to Australia, Jay began work as an educational author/packager. Since that time, she has authored and produced numerous award-winning titles for the educational publishing industry. Jay is also an accomplished childrens book author, writing a number of titles for such literacy series as ZigZags, Totally Kidz, Deadly and Incredible, and a childrens picture book series for Penguin. She is currently working with an educational publisher as lead author of a literacy series. Jay has written over 100 titles in that series. Jay is a mother of three daughters and was a school councillor at her local school for over seven years. This time spent in schools both as a teacher and a parent inspired her to ask the question of her community: What are we doing in schools to protect our children from unsafe touch? When she realised very little was actually being done, she decided to use her authoring and publishing skills to write Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept to help parents, carers and teachers to broach the subject of self-protection and to encourage children to speak up. After the encouraging response to Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept, she realised there was a need to further build upon the idea of children not keeping secrets about unsafe touch. Jay participated in Protective Behaviours professional development and attended numerous conferences on the topic to educate herself in how to keep children safe and provide them with prevention education. Jay then went on to develop and publish a comprehensive Body Safety and Respectful Relationship Teachers Resource Kit as well as writing several more childrens books on the topics of Body Safety, consent, respect, body boundaries and gender equality. Jays ongoing passion for the safety and empowerment of children continues today with new manuscripts and free-to-download Body Safety resources always in the wings.
