Rhinos Who Rescue: A Conversation with Julie Mammano
Rhinos Who Play Baseball: A Conversation with Julie Mammano
Ms. Mammano was born and raised in a Southern Californian family who, oddly enough, rarely went to the beach. After graduating from college in 1984 and moving out of state (where she was now landlocked), she decided it was time to learn how to surf. It was several years after moving back to California and working as a graphic designer for a children's magazine, when she bought a $15 used surfboard at a yard sale. Her dad thought it was silly for her to take up surfing as an adult. Little did he or Ms. Mammano know that this would turn out to be a good career move. A couple of years later, while bobbing up and down on their surfboards, two friends mentioned some guy named Griff. That name sounded tough and gruff—like a rhino. Always given to day-dreaming, silly thoughts of surfing rhinos suddenly popped into her head, and the Rhinos series was born.

Ray Marshall began his paper-engineering career in his native England in 1979 after coercing friend and illustrator Korky Paul into working on their first pop-up book. Convinced this way forward Ray quit his job as an art director with Avon Cosmetics (!) leaving a glamorous world to work at home designing pop-up books. In 1985 he won England's Smarties Prize for Children's Books Award for Watch It Work: The Car. Over the course of the next 10 years he designed 24 interactive books for children. He moved to San Francisco in 1986 to follow his true love and opened a company called Paper Creations specializing in pop-ups for advertising. In 1991, Ray formed Ray Marshall Design and took a "brief break" from pop-ups to focus on graphic design. Finally, encouraged by his family to design another pop-up Ray set to work on The Castaway Pirates, his twenty-fifth book and the first one he has written. He lives with his wife (same love) and their two daughters in the San Francisco Bay Area.
