Hello, you!

My name is Kate. Some people call me Katy.

I grew up in the smallish town of Orangeville, Ontario. After spending my twenties in Toronto and Seattle, I now live in the smallish city of Kitchener, Ontario. I live with my partner Michael and our two smallish girlies, Zoe and Mae. This year, we welcomed a bernedoodle puppy named Leo into our family; he is equal parts magical and maddening!

Though I am a certified teacher, I do not work in a classroom. Instead, I mentor students of all ages, helping them to deepen their thinking and grow their skills as readers and writers.

I am over the moon to announce that my debut picture, Beatrice and Barb, is forthcoming from Kids Can Press in fall, 2023, and is available for pre order now from your favourite local book seller!
