Kathleen T. Pelley is the author of seven other picture books, some of which have been included on the "best of the year" lists in Bank Street College of Education, and were named as Colorado Book Award winners, among others. She has been sharing her passion for stories with people of all ages and all walks of life as a lector at her church, as a narrator of books for the blind, as a storyteller at a low income school and most recently, by hosting her own storytelling podcast, Journey with Story, with between 40 and 50 thousand downloads per month. Kathleen grew up in Glasgow, Scotland, where she too, like Jesús, once landed a part as Innkeeper #2 in the class Nativity play - but, unlike, Jesús, she was not a star! When she is not reading or writing, telling or listening to stories, Kathleen enjoys hiking the trails of sunny Colorado with her husband and their two Golden retrievers.
