learn more >

Jenna Hammond writes popular children's picture books. Like Sam, she’s also a yogi. Before parenthood, she led family yoga classes on weekends with a weekday desk job as editor-in-chief. Writing about a girl with special needs who walks because of yoga motivated Jenna’s children’s yoga certification. She holds a master’s degree in journalism from New York University and a bachelor’s degree in English with a minor in French from the University of Michigan. Find her in NYC, the beaches and ranches of Montauk, or the occasional barnyard on family travels.

“Sam is slow.”
“Shaky.”
“Stubborn.”
“Shy.”
