"Rachelle Jones Smith has always loved to travel. If she can't go somewhere, her imagination is a great travel agent! She is a mom, a teacher, a photographer and a life-long storyteller (but not the kind of stories that are fibs). While in school, Rachelle often wrote, read books, or doodled and sketched whenever she had free time. She's carried the story of lonely Jill with her for years and is excited that she can finally share her with the world. Marco V. Patrocino always looks at the world differently. He was rescued from a corporate career in the world of engineering and codes by a passion to pursue his artistic destiny. As an illustrator, he seeks to expose the nuances of the world we often miss as we travel in hyper speed. Marco hopes to use his artistry to inspire us to know that the world can be more colorful, fun and full of life. He says, ""What sets us apart from all other creatures is the ability to dream and to transform reality with imagination. Every day can start with 'Once upon a time' and end with 'Happily Ever After.'"" Marco's work is always from his heart!"
