About Us

Jill E. Hersch
After a successful career selling computer networks into schools, while raising three boys through to University, Jill thought her work was done and retired to the Sunshine State. That lasted five months — and then she learned that God wasn’t done with her yet. Jill’s dream of teaching girls the skills of surviving this changing and dangerous world was hatched. Throughout the generations, girls have needed to know their Superpower and how to guard it, protecting their precious inner beauty and childhood joyfulness. Never have such lessons been more necessary. These are the Christian values Grannie Gertrude taught her and now Jill is passing on the secret to her granddaughters, and to you, as she steps into her vital new role of helping to raise the next generation.
Jill Muller
Jill Muller, educated at Syracuse University with a degree in Illustration, has thoroughly enjoyed bringing the character of Gertrude to life. Jill has worked extensively as a book designer and illustrator for Disney Publishing, Parragon Publishing, Reader’s Digest, Scholastic and American Greetings Cards. When not immersed in Gertrude’s world, Jill accepts commissioned work and paints in her seaside studio, inspired by the beauty of God’s world all around her. With a heart to serve others, Jill partners with faith-based, disaster response teams as a trained volunteer. Deploying to locations throughout the country, Jill is involved in the rebuild process and in creating works of art that bring hope and joy to the communities and individuals impacted.
