ELMIRA, N.Y. - April 23, 2019 - s4story -- After nearly 2 years of learning, drawing and writing, Author Gloria Raven is releasing her debut children's book "Jackie Jamis: Jumping in the Hay."

This incredible work of a lifetime, has come about at the culmination of 25 years of teaching experience in New York as a certified educator.  The Author's 35 years of composing and singing with her guitar, has prompted this book, as the theme song "Jackie Jamis: Jumping in the Hay" was written some years ago.

Having sought out artistic assistance for the illustrations in the book, Gloria Raven eventually decided to illustrate the book herself, as the personalities and the emotions of the wonderful array of characters in the book could only be authentically expressed by the author.  It took many months of learning Adobe Photoshop, to then import her sketches and convert them into highly detailed, brightly colored pictures that tell the marvelous story of Jackie Jamis, the star of the theme song and book.
