When Kathleen Krull was fifteen, she was fired from her part-time job at the public library for reading too much. She took that passion to her career in children's books and has become a noted biographer for children. Her Wilma Unlimited was named an ALA Notable; her Lives of the Presidents was a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year and a Boston Globe /Horn Book honor book; and her nonfiction has won innumerable other awards. A Woman for President is Kathleen's first book with Walker & Company. Jane Dyer is the beloved illustrator of many bestselling picture-books, including Time for Bed by Mem Fox, Babies on the Go by Linda Ashman, and I Love You Like Crazy Cakes by Rose Lewis, which received a starred review from Kirkus Reviews and was a New York Times bestseller. She brings her talented hand to picture-book biography for the first time in A Woman for President . Jane lives in Northampton, Massachusetts. |
