Katrina Moore writes and teaches in a part of New Jersey just outside Philadelphia. Earning an MA in elementary education, she’s also taught in Maryland, Massachusetts, and New York. Her mission is to create books that children will hug for ages, like her debut picture book, One Hug. When not teaching elementary schoolkids or writing, she’s cooking without a recipe, painting outside the lines, or snuggling up with her two kids, husband, Pomapoo pup, and of course, a cozy book.
