Inspired by tales of intrepid pirates, brother and sister raccoons Rocco and Ruby set off on the adventure of a lifetime. They find fun and make friends as they hike through the woods, sail across the sea and crawl through a crystal cave. In the end, they find a treasure that will make their next journey even sweeter.

With illustrations by Jessie James and words by Jonas Beals, “Rocco and Ruby: A Pirate’s Life,” is a wonderful way for parents to engage children as they explore the worlds of art and reading.

Jessie and Jonas are putting the finishing touches on their debut picture book and are already working on an even more outlandish and imaginative follow-up! Check back here to find out where to find our work and how you can support us.
