The heart behind Onederwild
Incredible Me
Author, illustrator, and champion of every person's one-of-a-kind story.
Hi, I'm Jess!
I'm a grandma to 4 amazing kids, a mom to 3, and at 53, discovering Incredible Me- I am a firm believer that every single person on this planet is extraordinary. I created Onederwild as a place where children and adults alike can come to remember and celebrate who they truly are.
The Most Incredible Me Ever to Be was born from a simple but powerful idea: what if every child grew up knowing, deep in their bones, that they are enough? That their quirks are gifts, their differences are superpowers, and their story matters?
I write and illustrate every Onederwild book myself — pouring color, joy, and a whole lot of heart into every page. My hope is that kids (and the grown-ups who love them) will return to these books again and again, and each time feel a little more seen, a little more celebrated, and a lot more themselves.
