Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads database with this name.

Jess Smith BEM is a professional storyteller and public speaker, writer and singer. As a child, she and her family travelled throughout Scotland in an old blue single-decker Bedford bus. This experience was the basis of her highly successful, best-selling autobiographical trilogy, Jessie's Journey, Tales from the Tent and Tears for a Tinker.
