Author Biography

In second grade, Katie Parker wrote her first novel about a heartbroken tapeworm. Since then, she's published many (much better) nonfiction kid's books on topics ranging from astrophysics to zoology. When not researching all sorts of fun things, Katie can be found running, rescuing animals, or exploring outside. She shares her Connecticut home with her wonderful husband, three amazing kids, and their Elder Statesdog, Bocephus the Beautiful. Her first novel remains inexplicably unpublished. After working as an editor for several major children's book publishers, Joanne Mattern became the author of numerous nonfiction books for kids. She especially loves writing about animals, sports, and interesting people and places. Megan Cooley Peterson has been an avid reader and writer since she was a little girl. She has written nonfiction children's books about topics ranging from urban legends to gross animal facts. Megan is also working on her first novel. She lives in Minnesota with her husband and daughter.
