About The Creators

Meet the creators of Mary Goop and the Magic Words!


  • Author

    Price Sigal has been writing stories since she was a little girl. Publishing a book has always been a dream of hers and she is thrilled to publish her first book with her longtime and talented friend Jessica Dawson. The story of Mary Goop was born in 2023 while Price was teaching a children’s manners class through the business she started with her mom and sister, Lowcountry Etiquette. Price came up with this story to read during manners class, and the children immediately took to lovable, imperfect and endearing Mary Goop.

    In addition to her manners business, Price is a practicing attorney. She lives in Charleston, SC with her husband Ryan, and three wonderful children, Copeland, Sumner and Wilson. Her children inspire her daily to continue writing stories to make them laugh, smile and chase their own dreams.

  • Illustrator

    Jessica lives in charming Charleston, SC with her handsome husband, Brandon, two super cool kids, Conrad + Rowie, and their big, lovable chocolate lab, Moose.

    In addition to being a wife, mom, self-taught artist and first-time illustrator, Jessica is an animal lover, travel junkie, snack connoisseur, sports fan and lawyer (fun fact: she and Price - author - met in law school at the University of South Carolina and have been BFFs ever since!)

    Jessica hopes that Mary Goop and her animal friends will inspire you to be silly, perfectly imperfect, honest and kind.
