These three are in charge of most things, namely early-morning wake-up calls. Shannon is a proud supporter of environmental causes, contributing to research, policy, and education whenever she can. She’s far from perfect when it comes to sustainability, but she tries to learn and improve every day. Shannon is an amputee. She is passionate about inclusion and diversity in literature, especially stories that show characters with finger and partial hand loss living their best lives. Shannon’s real first book was written when she was 5 years old. It consisted of the words “Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi! Oi! Oi!” repeated over and over. Neither word was spelled correctly, but the book did look good on the kindergarten bookshelves. Shannon lives in Australia. No, kangaroos do not populate every supermarket, but they do occasionally show up in airport pharmacies. When Shannon isn’t busy with writing and environmental science projects, she spends a lot of time singing and playing piano. https://www.shannonjadeauthor.com/books daily 0.75 2026-02-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1632033832172-9XRWLAZHAZ2Q70F8BC89/unsplash-image-q10VITrVYUM.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1632034344783-QZ0Y7AF3R90N405J0I9O/unsplash-image-UudGNHJdNSo.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1640919365050-C0DRICZPNZ0FJAVXLDJ0/unsplash-image-QjoJrmhkMBw.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1640919434503-UBDQ4IG6W3P2WUSZATBO/unsplash-image-BSw_8AatkNU.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1640919542467-LJSZ5BA3MVD2J8Q2DULS/unsplash-image-A-obUh61bKw.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1640919585342-ZVMXU8680P2JV8YDVCC7/unsplash-image--UsJoNxLaNo.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1640919618968-WCJ7K5KQ4RUSKC7W8SON/unsplash-image-vdbq-iiyvGY.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1706940223273-9LSZEOZ50EMEED9BJ8SU/image-asset.jpeg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1706940571092-C42XOY4LRH50LCS6TZPL/image-asset.jpeg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1706940694060-461W0WSV9117MJ435D8K/image-asset.jpeg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1632032963371-7M6O9ZVGUTG3B7R4BZWT/Seashells+for+Stories.jpeg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1632033048849-8EHEMN6D4ZVL7L4QF8JB/Way+Back+When.jpeg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1650255253019-204IZ48WH5P46HB63P2U/IMG_4194.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1632893522195-LNB8ZEM3UGTT8HMCLJOX/rainbow.jpeg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1632893490873-5SYWMK5Z1IZQSLMY86T2/Footprints.jpeg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/084dcdb0-72e8-47c2-a951-e98939bdb141/Alligators_Shannon+Jade.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/03d28120-a08d-453f-bcbe-6dac981a3829/Iguanas.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/f61f79ac-b69c-4916-b3e3-be7b6752f77c/Snapping+Turtles.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/386489a2-3d67-4830-a78e-e26a2f133cec/Bloodhounds+Shannon+Jade.jpg Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/a68af9e6-0b23-499f-844e-90df9513d4b9/Screen+Shot+2025-08-13+at+1.12.29+pm.png Books https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/0327611c-2b08-4a21-85e6-9b2a8934183d/A+Song+for+the+Earth_cover.jpg https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/fc17674d-ce28-449f-9ec7-0ed558f43924/Glimmer_ebook+cover.jpg https://www.shannonjadeauthor.com/press daily 0.75 2026-02-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/6146c49448b57766d6a03e68/1e019642-bf08-469a-a5cc-11d9bd5c66b4/Screen+Shot+2025-08-14+at+6.51.58+pm.png Press When a Sentence is a Poem: Lyrical Novels Meet Climate Fiction -
