Jeanne Holmberg writes books that put a fun spin on learning for ages 4-16. Jeanne’s books are ideal for busy families and busy teachers because they promote rich discussion and active learning for a wide variety of interests and ability levels.
Jeanne was inspired to write “Curious Isabella, Embracing A Challenge With Art And Science” because learning opportunities should be more than just single subject worksheets. Offering multiple outlets to discuss and explore inspires young students to enjoy learning. Because each child is unique, finding what interests them most is often the key to learning.

Before embarking on her writing adventures, Jeanne enjoyed life and learning as an educational leader, actuarial analyst, research chemist and volunteer at a local children’s museum. When she is not writing, Jeanne is inspired by spending time outdoors with her Scottish Terrier named Rocky, reading historical fiction, and surrounding herself with family and friends. Jeanne lives by the inspirational quote “Live well, laugh often, love much” by Bessie Anderson Stanley. If she could add one more thought to Bessie Anderson Stanley’s inspirational quote it would be: “Live well, laugh often, love much” and learn all along the way.
