Isaac Andres

Isaac Andres graduated from the College of the Holy Cross and while pursuing a career in software maintained a strong passion for writing.  The birth of his son in 2005 became the driving force for his first published children's book, Adam and the Magic Markers.  The book was a minor hit and quickly followed by In the Meadow and Mismatched Alexander.  With uniquely positive messages and beautiful artwork, the books continue to resonate with children and adults alike.  Isaac Andres currently resides in Colorado with his wife and two sons.
