About Jen Stadler

Jen Stadler grew up in the heart of Mississippi with a wild imagination, farm chores, and a knack for turning ordinary days into big adventures. Whether she was exploring the woods or heading out on adventures with the neighbor kids, being outdoors was always her favorite way to pass the time.

From an early age, Jen loved writing, and attended the University of Mississippi (Ole Miss), where she studied English and Literature. As a young adult, she poured her heart into working with kids—through summer camps, daycares, mission trips, youth groups, and just about anywhere else children gather to make messes and memories. Her love for children never faded— especially as she became a mom. Eventually, her love for writing and her love for children grew into a desire to create stories that make them laugh and long for adventure.

A self-taught creative designer and book-making enthusiast, Jen now blends her passion for storytelling and design to craft projects and write books that bring joy to families. Her goal is simple: to create meaningful books for families, and to give children lighthearted, wholesome fun while helping them grow into kind, respectful, and thoughtful humans.

She now lives in Minnesota with her husband, two awesome teenagers, and their adopted dog, Lucy. When she's not writing or creating something new, you'll find her camping, playing golf and pickleball, watching sports, tackling home projects, or soaking up time with her favorite people.

As Creative Director, she sets the tone for everything we do—developing stories, shaping our brand’s voice, and making sure each project reflects our mission to create books that are wholesome, humorous, and full of heart. With a passion for family and storytelling, Jen leads the creative vision and keeps our publishing world grounded in imagination and purpose.
