All of the Tiny Truths books and resources are created, written and illustrated by Tim Penner and Jo Rivard. We’ve been making kids’ content together since 2011 (though we’ve been friends for much longer). Over the years we have made interactive book apps, print books, games and crafts. We whole-heartedly believe in the importance and power of story to shape us. Tiny Truths is the culmination of many years of writing, scribbling, drawing and laughing together.

Jo Rivard - Joanna grew up in Nigeria and England and studied French at Oxford University. She has a PhD in French existentialism from the University of Michigan but (given the choice) prefers writing children’s stories. She lives in Toronto with her husband and two children who refuse to share her accent.

Tim Penner - Tim is an animation director, illustrator and writer who lives in Toronto. Before art and film school he picked up a degree in theology just in case the opportunity to bring it all together and make a children’s Bible ever presented itself.
