Jennifer had a whimsical childhood during the 1970s and 80s, with imaginary friends and a trusty noble steed as her constant companions. As she grew older, her imagination and love for children's books remained, guiding her to become a teacher. She's now on an extraordinary adventure of her own into the world of children's literature with this book, her very first. Jennifer loves animals, especially pocket dragons, and has a passion for baking pinkerdoodles. She lives in Illinois with her husband, daughter, one cat, and two dogs--who sadly do not talk (though sometimes Jennifer imagines they do).
From the time she was a child, Ramona dreamed of being an illustrator. She loved storybooks and was enchanted by the magnificent worlds that came to life with brushes and pencils. When she grew up, she went to art school and the International School of Comics in Rome, Italy, where her childhood dream of becoming a professional artist came true. She is a versatile illustrator, applying techniques such as acrylic, watercolor, and digital art. She finds her inspiration in the world of fairy tales, dreams, nature, and antique toys.
