Jeff was raised by his grandparents. They taught him that kindness is the most important virtue to make the world a better place. He has worked in many far-away places and knows that children are our future. He is inspired by his daughter, who is an imaginative story teller, wonderful artist, and fearless explorer.

Proceeds from the sale of Jeff's fourth book, Maisha and the Rainbow Tree, will be donated to charitable causes supporting sustainable forest restoration and families in need.

“My grandparents, who raised me, believed that kindness is the most important virtue to make the world a better place. They taught me, “What you do matters.” Like a stone tossed into a lake, your actions have ripples that carry far and wide.”
Jeffrey Blander, Maisha and the Rainbow Tree

“When we plant trees, we plant the seeds of peace and seeds of hope.  We also secure the future for our children.”
