About the Authors

Jesse Dattilo Author - Illustrator

Hello, everybody. I'm Jesse, the author-illustrator for ONCE ON A GRAY AND CLOUDY DAY. As a mother as well as a math teacher for after school students, I enjoyed working on this special book about the adventures of Hattie and Joey. I used pastels for all the pictures. The art comes from my series of barn art. Enjoy the read. Looking forward to next book.
