Katy S. Duffield is the author of more than forty children’s books. She’s written fictional picture books about a farmer who lost his cows, a little country girl with a big ol’ voice, an alien with a cold, a house looking for a home, and others.
She’s also written many nonfiction books about a wide range of topics such as orangutans, hurricane hunters, movie stunt doubles, venom extractors, and dogs that protect penguins. Her most recent award-winning nonfiction title, Crossings: Extraordinary Structures for Extraordinary Animals (illustrated by Mike Orodán), shares information about how wildlife crossings help protect animals around the world.
Katy enjoys writing fiction because it’s fun to make up characters and to use your imagination to figure out where the story will take those characters. With nonfiction, Katy gets to research and explore all kinds of things that interest her—and then write about them!
