About Author Jake Marrazzo
About the author
From the time Jake learned to speak, it was apparent he was extremely creative. He would constantly be coming up with ideas for books. One day when Jake was four, he came downstairs and said “Dad, I have an idea for a book and it’s called 1 Wants to Be a Letter. He began to talk about the number 1 whose friends were all letters and he felt different and wanted to be like them. We talked about the ideas that eventually became this book. Many of the words came from Jake’s Dad, but the idea and story came from the creative mind of a four-year-old. There is a bit of prophecy here, as Jake was diagnosed with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy when he was eight, and lost his ability to walk when he was twelve. Jake is 18 now and a senior at Hudson high school. Despite his physical challenges, he still wants to be just like everyone else.
