Author Biography Vivian Mineker is a Taiwanese American from Taipei and Portland, OR currently working out of Ljubljana, Slovenia. Her interest in art began at a young age -- Ever since she could remember she has been using art to express herself, and recreating her imaginary world. This continues into her work today where she creates characters and worlds that reflect her imaginations, inspired by observations of the real world around her. She uses watercolor and colored pencils to begin her pieces, then polishes them digitally at the end, creating a blend of traditional texture with a modern look and feel. Jayneen (aka Jay Dale) is an experienced early years educator, author and publisher.She started her teaching career in the 1980s as a primary school teacher in rural Australia. She then moved to Melbourne and taught at a number of inner-city schools. In 1985, Jay had a change of career and became an educational editor and publisher.In the early 90s, Jay and her partner moved to Japan to work as English teachers. They lived and worked in Japan for over three and a half years. In fact, Jays first daughter was born there.On returning to Australia, Jay began work as an educational author/packager. Since that time, she has authored and produced numerous award-winning titles for the educational publishing industry. Jay is also an accomplished childrens book author, writing a number of titles for such literacy series as ZigZags, Totally Kidz, Deadly and Incredible, and a childrens picture book series for Penguin.She is currently working with an educational publisher as lead author of a literacy series. Jay has written over 130 titles in that series.Jay is a mother of three daughters and was a school councillor at her local school for over seven years. This time spent in schools both as a teacher and a parent inspired her to ask the question of her community: What are we doing in schools to protect our children from unsafe touch? When she realised very little was actually being done, she decided to use her authoring and publishing skills to write Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept to help parents, carers and teachers to broach the subject of self-protection and to encourage children to speak up.After the encouraging response to Some Secrets Should Never Be Kept, she realised there was a need to further build upon the idea of children not keeping secrets about unsafe touch. Jay participated in Protective Behaviours professional development and attended numerous conferences on the topic to educate herself in how to keep children safe and provide them with prevention education. Jay then went on to develop and publish a comprehensive Body Safety and Respectful Relationship Teachers Resource Kit as well as writing several more childrens books on the topics of Body Safety, consent, respect, body boundaries, gender equality, and social and emotional intelligence. Jays ongoing passion for the safety and empowerment of children continues today with new manuscripts and free-to-downloadresources always in the wings.
