 BECAUSE THE SMALLEST STORY CAN MAKE THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE.

ABOUT MY CONCEPT BOOKS

My environmental children’s books have received international recognition, including multiple Readers’ Favorite medals, a Mom’s Choice Gold Award, and Book Excellence Awards in the environmental category. Titles such as 1, 2, 3, Who’s Cleaning the Sea? and The ABC Animal Picnic have reached #1 New Release and Amazon Bestseller positions, and have been featured across international media including CBS, NBC, and ABC, as well as LibraryBub. They are also listed on Goodreads and have been featured on BookBub.

A visit to the Aquarium de Paris became a turning point in my creative journey. During a family visit, a live presentation on plastic pollution deeply impacted both my daughter and me, and sparked a desire to create stories that help children connect emotionally with nature and understand their role in protecting it. This experience later led me to develop 1, 2, 3, Who’s Cleaning the Sea?, transforming an earlier concept for a counting book into a picture book focused on ocean pollution.

Since then, my books have often explored ocean life, pollution, and the importance of protecting marine environments. My aim is to bridge the gap between children and the natural world, especially in urban environments where contact with nature can feel limited. Through simple storytelling and playful concepts, I encourage curiosity, outdoor exploration, and awareness of environmental responsibility.
At the heart of my work is the belief that children should not only learn about nature, but feel inspired to care for it.

Diamonds, Hearts & Sea Stars!

A picture book about shapes found in the ocean
(Early Childhood Concept)

While forms are precise in a geometry book,
In Nature, we must take a second good look.

So step outside and open your eyes -
The shapes you see could be quite a surprise.

So let’s look together, just you and me.
I wonder which shapes we’ll be able to see.

You will learn about sea creatures in a fun and entertaining way, and also become aware of the man-made threats they face and how we can help to protect them.

1, 2, 3, qui nettoie la mer ?


Un livre à compter pour sensibiliser les enfants à la protection de notre planète

Découvre comment les aider! Avec ses illustrations réfléchies, ce livre apprend aux enfants à compter, tout en les sensibilisant à la protection de notre environnement."

Le livre de Janina Rossiter "1, 2, 3, qui nettoie la mer ?" n'est pas seulement une belle œuvre d'art, mais un message très important en ce moment crucial de l'histoire de notre océan. C'est honteux que ce sont les jeunes générations qui héritent les résultats des erreurs catastrophiques commises jusqu'ici dans notre traitement, de notre planète. Ainsi que ce livre est un appel au réveil de l’état de l’océan, c’est aussi un livre merveilleux pour apprendre à compter pour les très jeunes qui a un message encourageant et positif: respecter la mer, prendre conscience et agir.
Je souhaite que chaque enfant puisse lire ce livre."
~Terence Bulley, fondateur de BlueOcean.Watch - Vos yeux sur l’océan.

Ein Zahlenbuch, das Kinder für den Schutz der Weltmeere sensibilisiert.

Meerestiere sehe ich, doch alle sind ganz unglücklich.
Der Dreibeinfisch hat beim Erkunden
Drei Dosen aus Metall gefunden.

Leserinnen und Leser aller Altersgruppen erfreuen sich an den Bildern ebenso wie an der Geschichte und der Botschaft. Die exquisit handgezeichneten Illustrationen in schwarzer Tinte auf Acryl ziehen junge Leserinnen und Leser in ihren Bann und führen sie auf eine Entdeckungsreise durch die faszinierende Fantasiewelt der Illustratorin.
