Jennie Marie Naffie is a retired teacher and librarian who has always believed in the power of stories to connect hearts. She is also a former publisher and editor of a regional women’s magazine in West Michigan.

When Jennie’s granddaughters lived in Japan, she found comfort in knowing that—even across an ocean—they could share the same sun and moon. When I See the Sun, You See the Moon grew from that experience and became her love letter to family, connection, and the quiet magic of looking up.

Jennie writes stories that honor relationships, emotional resilience, and the beauty found in everyday moments.
