Welcome to my website. I’m Kathleen Deady, but
       my friends call me Kathy. I write both fiction and
       nonfiction books for children.

       I love being a children’s author. In college, while
       studying to be a preschool teacher, I took a course
       in children’s literature. I remember the day I fell in
       love with children’s books. I knew at that moment 
       that some day I would write picture books. While
       working to become a published writer, I discovered
       a passion for nonfiction as well. Now I write both.  

       I often visit schools to share my love of books and
       writing with children. I also enjoy speaking to adults 
       at conferences and workshops. Come in and look
       around. Find out more about me, my books, and my
       author visits.

       When I'm not writing or doing school visits, I may be
       getting together with my long time writing group and
       dear friends, The Write Sisters. Otherwise, you will
       find me working in my garden or feeding the birds in
       my yard. Oh, did I mention I also collect old picture
       books? Come on in and peek at a few of the books in
       my collection.
