Young Writing Protege Becomes A Teacher&RediscoversHerPassion For Writing The Adventures OfjellyBean

Amy Pollack was born and raised near Morristown New Jersey in Summit New Jersey. She enjoyed playing outside as a kid until she had to come in for dinner. She enjoyed writing creative stories about Jelly Bean and telling them in front of her class as a fourth grader. She was encouraged by her teacher and later her mother-in-law. She was a teacher for forty years. The stories of Jelly Bean came back to the forefront when the Covid shutdown took place. It forced her to pull her notes and stories out and work on them again. She eventually found a publisher that was interested and her first book was published. She is currently working on her third book that will be released in the next few months. More about Amy: “Amy Meislin Pollack was a teacher for over four decades, raised three children, and loves to play with her seven grandchildren. From her own childhood to the classroom and as a parent and grandparent, she is perfectly positioned to pen her coming-of-age book series.
The Adventures of Jelly Bean, followed by The Further Adventures of Jelly Bean, first came into being when the author’s fourth-grade teacher used to ask her to get up in front of the class and tell the stories about this character she would make up as she went along. Several years later she started writing these stories down, and would work on them periodically in any free time she had during her teaching career and raising her three children. Now retired from a 40-year career in teaching - spanning a wide range of subjects and grade levels - she has embarked on a lively writing career. The silver lining of the Covid pandemic for Pollack was that she was more or less forced, after approximately 60 years, to finish her Jelly Bean books. Her books are about a young girl whose life is always changing and how she adapts to these changes. She tries to work out relationships with her friends, her parents, her older brothers, her uncle. Her parents do not want her best friend, who is of mixed race, to visit. Another friend is anorexic. One brother drops out of school. A grandparent dies.”
