Katherine Battersby

Katherine was born in Perth, Australia, spent a few years in Saudi Arabia, and then spent a very idyllic, outdoorsy childhood on the beach in North Queensland. After pursuing a career in pediatric occupational therapy, Katherine returned to her first love of writing and illustrating and published a series of books in Australia. Now living in Ottawa, Canada, with her poet husband and new baby daughter, she is turning her attention to the North American market.
