Kate Noble
Kate Noble wrote her first children's book after returning from safari in Africa. A former teacher with advanced degrees, she is a volunteer at Lincoln Park Zoo in Chicago. She's currently writing a middle-grade novel.
She says, "Books should stir the imagination of children, make them laugh, and teach them about themselves and their world."
