About Jackie Silberg
Hello,
My name is Jackie Silberg …aka…Miss Jackie and I have been writing books and music for and about young children for 25 plus years.
I’ve decided to write this blog because I want to share activities and songs from my books and music . I know that you will enjoy playing these games and singing these songs with your little ones because they not only create a wonderful bonding experience, but develop important skills for their development.
