Jessica Tilley has been an elementary educator for over 15 years. Though she has created several poems, short plays, and other stories, "You Have To Be Smart If You're Going To Be Tall," is her first published work. In addition to spending time with her family she's driven to share her love for reading and children's literature through her writing. She hopes to influence children and their families to grow together by finding ways to communicate and deal with everyday issues together. She welcomes you to follow and tweet her @IamJTilley and look for 2 other children's books later this year.
