About Us

We met in college and fell quickly and completely in love over a mutual appreciation of a good book and a good sense of humor. After graduation, our love of literature moved us to New York City where Rochelle began her career in book publishing and Patrick taught middle school English in the Bronx. We were married in 2010 and have since moved from NYC to Detroit to Denver and back to metro-Detroit where we’re happy to live closer to both of our families as we grow a family of our own, continuing to read and laugh together every day.

Though the last two years have changed a lot in ways both wonderful (parenthood!) and difficult (pandemic!), we’ve loved rediscovering our favorite things through our son’s eyes. We love spending time outdoors exploring our city and beyond: biking to the zoo or a good splash pad, hiking local nature trails or far-off mountain paths, road-tripping through the US and Canada, vacationing in both National Parks and theme parks. At the end of the day, our favorite place to be is snuggled on the couch together with our dog (Huckleberry), pockets emptied of whatever rocks our son discovered that day, re-reading our favorite picture books (or re-watching Pixar movies), and dreaming up future family adventures.
