Adele Jeunette

Welcome!

If it’s in a book, I’m on it. If you can craft it together, I'm on it.

I have a Master's Degree in Library and Information Science, and I’ve been a children’s librarian through a couple of generations. I make my lists of books and craft ideas to help out parents and teachers. I focus on things like reluctant readers, the Titanic story, and good crafts, books and films for families with children from China.
