Jean Ferratier

Jean Ferratier is a retired kindergarten teacher with a master's degree in Early Childhood Education and a passion for storytelling. Her writing has appeared in the Chicken Soup for the Soul series and The Chaos of Covid.

After more than twenty years in the classroom, Jean turned to writing to explore the universal themes of caregiving, resilience, personal transformation, and healing. Her memoir, Who Will Take Care of Mom?, draws on her experiences as both a caregiver and a patient. She is currently working on her next book, Windows of Clarity, a collection of short stories.

Outside of writing, she enjoys photography, the performing arts, and puzzles.

Jean finds deep meaning in connecting with others and believes that when one person shares a story authentically, others find the courage to share their own.
