At Emerson College, Jack met an art student, Nicole Rubel. They teamed up to create picture books for children. However, Jack received his first rejection letter and got very frustrated. Then he remembered some advice a teacher had told him, to write what you know. He was at his desk and looked down, and there was his cat getting into trouble. His cat became Rotten Ralph.
When Jack was seven, his family moved to Barbados. He went to a British school, where reading and writing were the subjects that were the most important to the school.
