Come meet and have your book personally signed by Author, educator and artist, Jenny Woolsey at this FREE EVENT!

Jenny Woolsey, M.Ed. (Hons), is an author, potter, speaker, carer and disability advocate. She was born with a rare craniofacial syndrome and spent her childhood in Caboolture. Standing out as physically different meant life was hard, and Jenny bore the brunt of society's displeasure of seeing her. An inner strength and self-determination led to achievements and success. But Jenny's past was forever present, and she struggled throughout her adulthood with severe mental health issues, domestic violence, loss, low vision and her poor self-esteem. Her three children were also born with her facial difference, Down syndrome and autism. 

Be Weirdly Wonderful! Embrace your differences is a practical personal development book combined with Jenny's life stories. In the pages you will find many of the strategies that have shaped Jenny into the strong, independent woman she is today. 

The story is endorsed by Phyllida Swift, CEO of Face Equality International (based in the UK)
