JENNY SIMMONS

Jenny Simmons is a trusted voice helping children—and the grownups who love them—understand the power of healthy boundaries.

She is the author of the international children’s book I Can Say No, a practical and empowering guide now published in English, Korean, Japanese, and French. With warmth, humor, and a deep respect for kids’ agency, Jenny helps children find the courage to speak up and set honest, compassionate boundaries.

A longtime speaker, writer, and musician, Jenny has spent the last two decades touring the country as a singer-songwriter (Addison Road), solo artist, and speaker at schools, churches, and conferences. She’s also the author of two books on grief, healing, and resilience, The Road to Becoming and Made Well (Baker Books), and she now works to empower touring artists, helping them utilize their platforms for global good.

Jenny lives in Franklin, Tennessee, with her husband and two daughters. Offstage, you’ll find her on the back porch with a cup of coffee, using excessive glitter during craft time, or sharing life with the friends and neighbors she calls family.
