Jenny and her Jug
Synopsis: Whip-smart, wild haired Jenny carries a bursting gallon jug with her everywhere she goes. In it, she stores every bit of information she hears about herself: the name the neighborhood bully calls her, the judgement made by a mean-spirited student in gym class, and sometimes even her own self-critical thoughts.
Jenny and her Jug illustrates how children and adults often move through the world weighed down by judgements that quickly become beliefs. With humor and care, this read-to-me picture book navigates the weight of language, the power of empathy, and the sparkling strength gained from taking ownership of our story.
