Jane Valencia is an author/illustrator, harper and storyteller, and nature instructor who loves to adventure with kids of all ages in the wild and wondrous of the outdoors and our own imaginative natures.

Her works include a nature-rooted children’s fantasy novel, a kids herbal comic, a free quarterly ezine, several harp recordings, and numerous blog posts and articles.

She teaches with the Vashon Wilderness Program, and lives in a passive solar home on a plain old farm where she and her family tend the land and a flock of feathered friends. Visit Jane at ForestHalls.org.
