Bio BasicsKate Palaces Narita is the author of 100 Bugs! A Counting Book (FSG spring 2018). When she's not out and about driving, teaching or cheering on her two teenage sons, Kate lives, writes, and hikes on a small mountain in central Massachusetts. There's a magical part of Mt. Wachusett in every one of her stories. Be it small wonders like darting dragonflies and gorgeous garden phlox, or large wonders like munching moose and beautiful balsam firs, she celebrates nature's bounty each and every day.
Kate has an MFA in Writing for Children from Simmons University, a MS in Education, a BS in Spanish and a B.S. in Sociology from University of Wisconsin-Madison. While she has lived in Illinois, Wisconsin, Chile, and Japan, she calls Princeton, Massachusetts home. |
