AUTHORS

Tony Preciado and Rhode Montijo are Illustrating the Point. 

The two artists first met while working together on the stop-motion animated feature James and the Giant Peach, and they soon learned that they had a lot in common, including (but not limited to) a love of comic books, a taste for breakfast cereals, and an extensive knowledge of Cartoon Law*. It only made sense that they join forces—so they did! 

The power resulting from this alliance was mighty, and because they both understood that with great power comes great responsibility, they decided that they should help kids improve their grammar in a fun and creative way.
