A head full of Shenanigans!

Meet Judy McNally...

Judy McNally, a resident of Bakersfield, California, is a new children’s author who has combined her love of writing with her affection for children.  Her newly released books, Itty Bitty Possum and Sagan Saves A Sea Turtle are both recipients of 2021 Silver Mom’s Choice Awards.   More charming adventures are on the way very soon!

A hilarious and fun-loving grandmother, she pens tales using everyday events as her inspiration, with the goal of providing funny, teachable moments in children's literature.  McNally states that “Children are the most amazing little creatures that have ever been so graciously bestowed upon mankind.  They embody goodness, innocence, silliness, laughter and a natural curiosity that should never be suppressed or taken for granted.  That curiosity is a sure cure for boredom and in turn, blossoms into imagination and creativity!”  

From art to interior design, gardening, writing, or finding the PERFECT TACO, she is always on the hunt for new and interesting ways to make the world a bit more lovely!
