Kim T. Griswell grew up in the land of grits and kudzu where summers are hot enough to cook eggs on concrete―in other words, Georgia. She’s written about everything from flesh-eating plants to exploding toilets and spends her days developing and editing children’s books in a little red house in Ashland, Oregon, home ofPortable Press and Uncle John’s Bathroom Readers. Kim spent six years as coordinating editor of Highlights for Children and three more years as a Senior Editor for Highlights’ trade book publisher, Boyds Mills Press. Kim has taught writing workshops all over the country, including for the Highlights Foundation. She has published hundreds of short stories, articles, and columns in magazines and books. Her books include Carnivorous Plants, Nonfiction Reading Practice (Grade 3), Jim Abbott, The Legend of Sleepy Hollow (retelling) and The Ludlow Mining Strike—both for Benchmark Education, and two picture books, Rufus Goes to School (an Oregon Book Awards finalist) and Rufus Goes to Sea (just out from Sterling Children’s Publishing).
