Christopher P. Stanley grew up in Grove City, OH and had a childhood that centered around imagination, play, and exploring the outdoors (mixed in with a healthy amount of Nintendo). A large part of his, perhaps over-active, imagination is owed to books - Where the Wild Things Are, Vinegar Pancakes and Vanishing Cream and "every single Dr. Seuss book" make up just a small sampling of the children's books that filled him with wonder - and continue to do so to this very day! Christopher graduated from Ohio Dominican University with a degree in Education, and has been an educator for the past 10 years in both the K-12 and Higher Education settings. He currently lives in Upper Arlington, OH with his wife, Morgan, and their four children - Rylee, Olivia, Lylah, and Samuel - who remind him every day of the magic that is childhood. Christopher is an author and co-founder of Jump Splash Books, and he aims to highlight imagination and celebrate the joy of childhood through his stories. He co-founded Jump Splash with his childhood friend and artist Alex LeVasseur, and the name of the company encapsulates their vision - through imagination and wonder, we can find joy; even in something as simple as jumping in a puddle. Whether it's collecting vintage video games, or taking his children on a dragon hunting adventure, Alexander LeVasseur has always been a kid at heart. Growing up with comic books and Saturday Morning cartoons, he quickly found a passion for art. He is technically trained in graphic and web design, and is also the co-founder of DuskBunnies Comics. From reading to his children every night and spending many hours in the library, he saw the excitement that children had while reading stories and seeing the colorful illustrations. Alex co-founded Jump Splash Books with his childhood friend to create their own stories for children to help keep their imaginations alive. Alex currently lives in Westerville, OH with his wife and their four children. While not illustrating, he can be found taking his kids on an adventure...probably dressed as a superhero.
