Meet The Author

With a career in education, Kathleen Webb Kaplan has always had a passion for writing and creating stories. She started writing stories for her children, but it wasn't until she began reading to her grandchildren that she started publishing her children's books. She writes from the perspective of a child so they can be transported to different worlds and can imagine new possibilities.

When Kathleen is not writing, she can be found playing with her grandchildren, traveling the country, and of course, reading! She is excited to continue writing and sharing stories that will captivate and inspire young readers for years to come.
