Kathryn Erskine grew up in Europe, Africa, Canada, and the United States. She attended eight schools and four universities. She was a lawyer before becoming an author. Her experiences inspire much of her writing.
She loves to travel and talk with readers around the world. She has been lucky to visit schools in Scotland, Italy, Brazil, Panama, and Singapore as well as on Zoom. She also loves research, and even became a pharmacy technician while researching a new novel.
She has published seven novels including National Book Award winner Mockingbird and three picture books. As always, she has several books in progress. Her books have won multiple awards. What is most important to her is that readers enjoy her books and realize that, like the characters in books, they have the power to achieve their goals.
Following Leonardo’s example, she keeps a notebook of ideas, lists, and sketches.
