Meet the Team Behind Ruby's Magic Pocket!

The real inspiration behind Ruby herself, Charlotte Blackhurst is a four-year-old girl with a big heart and a big imagination. Jessica, Charlotte's mother, is a writer and lyricist, who considers raising Lottie and her sister to be the greatest blessing of life. And it's only gotten better since they got to start writing Ruby's Magic Pocket together.

 Ruby's life began one summer day when Charlotte came dancing in and asked her mom-- "Guess what's in my pocket?! It's a magic pocket!"

Jessica knew instantly that she and Charlotte had stumbled onto a fantastic world of stories. 

They immediately began dreaming up everything they could about the little girl with the magic pocket. With Jessica asking a lot of questions and Charlotte giving her fantastic creative answers, the whole story came out in less than a day and culminated with Charlotte giving Ruby her name.

Every book in the series is a beautiful collaboration of Jessica's creative writing and Charlotte's beautiful imagination flavored with the games, stories, and adventures they share every day at home. And we think that's the secret to what makes these stories so awesome!

Jessica and Charlotte live in Utah with Charlotte's Dad, Parker, and her little sister, Elodie.

Beau has loved creating worlds and characters for as long as he can remember, and he's been putting pen to paper for nearly as long.

Beau spent his childhood making up games and adventures that kept his friends and family entertained and laughing and these days he's overjoyed that he can continue to spread smiles with his amazing art! Especially now that he gets to bring Ruby's adventures to life.

Beau lives in Utah with his wonderful wife, Jillian.

Making these stories into books you can read and enjoy takes a lot more than putting words on a page. From organizing the manuscript to formatting the pages to choosing the fonts and designing the books, it's Aimee who makes it all possible.

Bringing together Jessica's words and Beau's illustrations on the page is just the beginning of Aimee's many talents. 

She is also a talented writer herself, a design guru, a powerhouse singer-songwriter, and the wife of Nick and mother to three handsome boys.
