Rachel lives in New York City with her family. In her brilliant picture book Rachel Isadora puts a twist on the traditional version of Rapunzel, and tells of an African Rapunzel who is given to an evil sourceress. The story retains it antique integrity, and is enhanced by the wonderfil collaged illistratons. She trained at George Balanchine's School of American Ballet and has danced professionally. Rapunzels long dredlocks make perfect sense as a rope. Rachel Isadora began dancing at the age of eight.
