About the Illustrator
Jaci Hopper is a loving wife and mother of three. She enjoyed many, many hours of reading to her own children over the years. Through the countless pages turned, she realized that the most loved pages were ones that sparked kids' imaginations beyond the plot of the book. "For a child, an animal is not just a character; it is an 'imaginary' friend, in the truest sense of the word. Give kids a detailed illustration, and their imaginations run wild."
As an artist at heart, Jaci spends much of her free time making illustrations (when she's not taking care of Christy, the family dog). Like Timothy, she is looking forward to many more books to come, and she hopes that her pictures for Jack and the Amazing Wonderphone help the words come alive in imaginations across the world!
