About me

I'm Jessie May Buchanan, a teacher and storyteller from the small spot that is New Zealand. 🌟 I love weaving magical tales, wonderful adventures, and strange happenings both in the classroom and on the page.

After writing with my students in class, I decided to dive deep into the writing world. I discovered a passion, a love of writing that I couldn’t stop once I started.

My first big adventure in writing is about to hit bookshelves! It's a picture book filled with rhymes and surprises, designed to engage young readers and make them feel like they're part of the story. It is called Beep the Sheep.

Besides storytelling, I have degrees in Social Science and Teaching. I believe that understanding people and their feelings is crucial, and I try to bring that understanding into my writing.

Writing makes it possible to create something that only exists because I decided it did or because an author had a fabulous idea. It is the closest thing to real magic I can think of.
