With nineteen years of experience as a teacher in the social sciences, Jennifer N. Senjanin has had a front-row seat to the evolution of the traditional family. Recognizing the need for a children’s book to keep up with these changes, addressing issues like self-identity, belonging, and diversity, she decided to create a series to do just that: The Adventures of Selena Bombeelina and Sara Beara.
The youngest of nine children, Jennifer currently lives in the diverse community of Windsor, Ontario, with her husband, Marko, who is also a teacher, and their 8-year-old twin daughters, after whom the main characters are named. Jennifer hopes that their constant questioning of the world around them will always keep her searching for answers.
