Jennifer Jackson, Paper Bird, Freemantle, Western Australia
Hi!
Today I’m chatting with Jennifer Jackson, director of Paper Bird Children’s Books & Arts in Freemantle, Western Australia.
Paper Bird is a creative hub for children where they can interact with writers and illustrators, attend workshops and books clubs, and listen to children’s stories told by local indigenous authors.
Jennifer has worked in London, Perth, and Melbourne in child mental health services and is an avid supporter of children’s literature and art centers across the world. She has collected her ideas, vision, and enthusiasm to create a story house for children.
