Jackie Knapp

Jackie Knapp wrote her first story about talking animals in the 2nd grade, and her imagination has only grown since. "The Adventures of Lily Huckleberry" is her first children's series, inspired by a love for travel + whimsical adventures. She hopes Lily's escapades encourage kids to dream big + be brave, to see the magic in the everyday.

She is a facilitator + coach and teaches courses for people who want to live a creative life but aren't sure where to start. For the past two decades, Jackie has mentored and taught kids worldwide and developed a creative arts program that empowered children to collaborate on original films. She has degrees in counseling and psychology and believes that the stories kids read shape the adults they become. Follow her on Instagram: @jackieknapp_
