Jessica's Island

Everyone has a special place, a spot where they feel comfortable and happy. When she wasn't under her tree, by her pond, at the beach, by her stream, in her field, enjoying her mountain, at her swamp, exploring her wetland, in her forest, enjoying her desert, or in her garden, Jessica loved being on her island.


As she enjoyed one lovely day walking along the beach, Jessica wondered, “What does an island do?”


Playing, imagining, and exploring around her island, Jessica sets out to find out what just makes her island so special.


Through vivid imagery and heartfelt prose, J. Bailey explores what it's like to have a special place outside where one can learn, grow, and discover in this beautiful children's nature book.


J. Bailey brings exquisite imagination and a sense of wonder to this marvelous story that will inspire readers of all ages to learn and explore in nature, finding their own special places inside and out.
