We're happy to meet you!
Hi! I’m Rachel and I write and narrate the stories for Big Giant Book.
Writing has always been one of my favorite ways to play. Creating stories for Big Giant Book has given my inner child some major joy!
I’m a Big Giant believer in a playful, experiential, connection-driven childhood. I respect the innate and individual drive for learning that all children possess.
I hope that these stories are satisfying, fun, inspire comfort and happiness, and speak to the spirit of childhood!

I’ve been having a blast coming up with the musical “illustrations” for the stories.
I feel lucky to say that music has always been a big part of my life. As a kid, I spent a lot of time in my parents’ music store in Missoula, Montana. I was fortunate to always have instruments around to experiment with. I spent summers traveling to bluegrass festivals with my parents and helped at our instrument stand, enjoying the bonus of being surrounded by music in the air day and night. Live music was the backdrop of my summers and really my whole childhood.
I have spent most of my personal and professional life working in music and early childhood education. I have a Bachelor of Music and focused heavily on education, instruction, and performance in school.
I’m happy to be working on this project and putting the music in my mind to good use. I hope children have fun and feel excited about music and storytelling and feel a sense of connection as they listen to Big Giant Book!
