Author Biography

Jenny Loveless was born in Saint Louis Missouri in 1977. When she was three years old she was adopted to a family in California where she was raised by her adoptive mother Connie. Before being adopted, Jenny started out as one of Connie's Daycare children. She eventually went on to stay with Connie, being raised inside the In Home Daycare where she attained the experience of working with children as she grew. "When I was in high school, I wasn't allowed to hang out with my friends in the summer or after school. It was straight home to help my mom with the Daycare kids," Jenny says.

When Jenny grew to adulthood, she continued working with children in several other In Home Daycares and also as a nanny for several years. Since she has had her own three children, she has decided to stay home and put all of her time and focus into her own family. Jenny Loveless enjoys what she does as a homemaker, however she misses the opportunity to be a part of the development of other children. To continue to be of service to others, Jenny has gone on to write four inspirational children's books, all with valuable life lessons to help inspire children to believe in themselves, and their dreams.

Jenny has several dreams of her own on her list of goals. One, is to do influential seminars in high schools and teach students to continue believing in their goals, and use perseverance to achieve them.

Ducky Duck Doesn't Want to be a Duck by Jenny Loveless is about a duck who wants to be anything else but a duck. Together with his friends, Ducky goes through different identities in a humorous little adventure.

What an excellent book for children. I read it with my 6-year-old niece and 8-year-old nephew. They both love the fact that there are colorful, big pictures on each page and that the texts are just the right amount with just the right size. The prose is straightforward and easy for the kids to read or learn to read. We finished the book in two sittings in one day. We could have finished it in one sitting but unfortunately I, as an adult, had things to do -- much to my niece and nephew’s protest. In fact, my lovely niece requested that I include this book as one of her regular bedtime stories.

Behind this funny, colorful, and imaginative story is an imperative and deep message for the children: learn to love and accept yourself. Brilliant work from author Jenny Loveless. She definitely knows how to write for children and make them love her stories. I am happy to recommend this book to any parents who want to make sure that their children are entertained and educated at the same time. I am going to check out Jenny Loveless’s other works and I am planning to make her books as the primary fun-learning source for the children.

This was an awesome book. My daughter just laughed all the way through it. It's been a long time since I have seen a children's book that I really liked this much. It was a fun story for even me to read. The story was clever, and the illustrations were fabulous. I highly recommend this book. You will love it.

This is a cute picture book that teaches children that it's best to be who they are. I would recommend it.

This is a fun imaginative story with beautiful illustrations and a great message -love who you are! Such an important lesson for everyone. It's a great book to share with your own kids and would also be great for teachers especially if you have ELl students or any kid who may feel out of place :)

Layla Demira "Macy's mom"

This is a perfect book to show kids the importance of embracing who they are and recognizing their true self worth. These are lessons that every child should learn early in life and Ms. Loveless does a wonderful job conveying the idea in a way that even the littlest children will understand and enjoy! A MUST READ!
