CAROLINE ARNOLD always loved books, but as a child she never thought of writing as a career. Born in Pitts- burgh, she grew up in Minneapolis and studied art at Grinell College and the University of Iowa. “It was only after my children were born that I became acquainted with children’s books and it occurred to me that I could use my training to become a children’s book illustrator. I soon realized that I needed a text to go with the pictures, and the more I wrote, the more I realized that I liked writing as much as or more than drawing. I’ve always been fascinated by the natural world and love to go to parks and museums. Perhaps that is why so many of my books are about scientific topics.” It is for these scientific works that she is best known, and she has received countless honors and awards for her contributions to children’s literature. Caroline was also the honored recipient of the 2005 Washington Post–Chil- dren’s Book Guild Award for nonfiction for her body of work. She lives in Los Angeles with her husband, a neu- roscientist, and she teaches writing at UCLA Extension.

MARION DANE BAUER was an English teacher before she determined that writing wasn’t only meant to be a part-time occupation. “More than thirty years ago, I ﬁnally decided it was time to take the writing that I had been doing in the cracks of time—usually when I should have been cleaning the house—seriously. When I stumbled onto the contemporary novel for young people, I knew I had found what I truly wanted to do. I sat down to try to write one.” Now Marion is the author of more than forty books for young people, including the 1987 Newbery Honor book On My Honor. She is well known for her books on writing (Our Stories, What’s Your Story?) as well as her unique animal novels (Runt, A Bear Named Trouble). She has also returned to teaching part time for the MFA program Writing for Children and Young Adults at Vermont College. Marion lives with her partner in Min- nesota.

KAREN CUSHMAN, author of the Newbery Honor book Catherine, Called Birdy and the Newbery Medal winner The Midwife’s Apprentice, has written six books for young people, all of which feature dynamic female lead characters. Karen has a long-standing interest in history and chooses to tell the stories of common, everyday young women from diverse places because, as she says, “I grew tired of hearing about kings, princes, generals, presidents. I wanted to know what life was like for ordinary people in other times.” Karen’s “ordinary” heroines — Catherine, Brat, Lucy, Matilda, Rodzina, and Francine—are strong-willed, spirited, and, ultimately, extraordinary individuals whose journeys of self-discovery are told with humor and imagination. Karen was born in Chicago and moved to California with her family when she was ten. She now lives on Vashon Island in Puget Sound with her husband, Philip, and is the mother of a grown daughter, Leah.

STEPHANIE GREENE is the author of the popular Owen Foote series, the novels Falling into Place and Show and Tell, and the Sophie Hartley books. As the third of ﬁve children whose mother “sent us outside after breakfast and only let us back in for dinner,” Stephanie spent many hours of her childhood in the rivers, woods, and trees that made up her family’s three-acre backyard. She remembers childhood as a wonderful time, and memories of it serve as constant inspiration for her books. Topics such as sibling rivalry (Queen Sophie Hartley), neighborhood drama (Owen Foote, Super Spy), and a constant involvement with nature have all found a way into her stories. Growing up as the daughter of children’s book author Constance C. Greene, Stephanie felt that books were an intricate part of life—the writing of them, the reading of them, and the discussion of them. Born in New York City and raised in Connecticut, Stephanie now lives in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.

When GERALD MORRIS was in ﬁfth grade he loved Greek and Norse mythology and before long was retelling the stories to his younger sister and then to neighborhood kids. He began carrying a notebook in which he kept some of the details related to the different stories. The joy he found in retelling those myths continued when he discovered other stories. According to Gerald Morris, “I never lost my love of retelling the old stories. When I found Arthurian literature, years later, I knew at once that I wanted to retell those grand tales. So I pulled out my notebook . . . I retell the tales, peopling them with characters that I at least ﬁnd easier to recognize, and let the magic of the Arthurian tradition go where it will.” Gerald Morris lives in Wausau, Wisconsin, with his wife and their three children.

LINDA SUE PARK is the Newbery Medal–winning author of A Single Shard, as well as five other acclaimed novels for young people and three Clarion picture books. Seesaw Girl, written in 1997 and published in 1999, was Linda Sue’s first book and is set against the backdrop of seventeenth-century Korea. The Kite Fighters, A Single Shard, and When My Name Was Keoko are also Korean historical fiction novels, while Project Mulberry and Archer’s Quest deal with Korean history from contemporary perspectives. In an ALA Booklist article, Linda Sue spoke of her writing as “the joy of finding connections,” adding, “the ultimate connection—for every adult—is that we were all once children. That may be why when writers of adult works ask me why I write for children, I often wonder why they don’t.” The daughter of Korean immigrants, Linda Sue grew up outside of Chicago and began writing poems and stories at age four. She holds degrees in English literature from Stanford University, Trinity College, Dublin, and the University of London. Linda Sue lives in Rochester, New York, with her husband, two children, and dog, named

From the time she was very young, DOROTHY HINSHAW PATENT loved animals and nature. Born in Min- nesota and raised in Marin County, California, Dorothy received a B.A. in biological sciences from Stanford Uni- versity and a Ph.D. in zoology from the University of California at Berkeley. Dorothy’s fascination for the natural world has led her to write more than forty-five nonfiction books for children and young adults, many of which—including Plants on the Trail with Lewis and Clark and Garden of the Spirit Bear: Life in the Great Northern Rainforest—have been selected as NSTA–CBC Outstanding Science Trade Books for Children. In 1987 she received the Eva L. Gordon Award from the American Nature Study Society in recognition of her outstanding contribution to science literature for young readers, and in 2004 she won the Washington Post–Children’s Book Guild Nonfiction Award for her body of work.

“I was born in Melrose, Massachusetts, on November 21, 1908. I have lived all my life in New England, and though I love to travel I can’t imagine ever calling any other place on earth home. Since I can’t remember a time when I didn’t intend to write, it is hard to explain why I took so long getting around to it in earnest. But the years seemed to go by very quickly. In 1936 I married Alden Speare and came to Connecticut. Not till both children were in junior high did I find time at last to sit down quietly with a pencil and paper. I turned naturally to the things which had filled my days and thoughts and began to write magazine articles about family living. Then one day I stumbled on a true story from New England history with a character who seemed to me an ideal heroine. Though I had my first historical novel almost by accident it soon proved to be an absorbing hobby.” ELIZABETH GEORGE SPEARE (1908–1994) won the 1959 Newbery Medal for The Witch of Blackbird Pond,
