Meet The Artist

We’re excited to welcome fine art artist Stanislava Varbanova (Willow) to Team Ojie. It’s truly a small world when an artist from Bulgaria can work with a creative team in America. The Internet at it’s best. We are looking forward to book #6, Birds of a Feather and more to follow.

Here is an image from Ojie’s new book – Birds of a Feather

Many thanks to Anita Sullinger for her work on the prior books. Her illustrations brought Ojie to life in the Origami Grasshopper Series.

Meet The Composer

Songwriter/guitarist, and dyed in the wool Tigers fan, Dave Murray hails from Lansing Michigan.

After years of playing in Las Vegas and on the road with the touring band RAVEN, David went to school and earned his doctorate in Physical therapy. He and Jackie rekindled their working relationship as a songwriting team and have penned all the original music for this series.

He recently built and opened Peninsula Studio, aptly named for his home in Harrison, Tennessee.

Dedicated to Protecting Animals and the Natural World

OJIE, The Origami Grasshopper is the first adventure story in a new educational series for children. Like so many of us the state of our planet is a very real concern. Helping children learn to appreciate the beauty and magic of nature will benefit their lives greatly, and create a generation who will make caring for our planet priority one. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I enjoy creating it.

Planting the Seeds of Change

When you buy OJIE, The Origami Grasshopper, you help plant the seeds of change that will blossom into a better world. By reading this book, your children will learn what’s at stake and begin to build habits of protecting, preserving, and respecting nature.

We cannot continue to ignore the reality of animal abuse and neglect. Too many pets, livestock, and wild animals are suffering at the hands of humans. The result is devastating on many levels.
