Nancy Carlson was born and raised in Edina, Minnesota. She has written and illustrated more than 60 books which are based on her childhood experiences. She majored in printmaking at Minneapolis College of Art and Design. Before her children's books were published, Nancy Carlson created many works of art that were featured in art exhibitions and are still held in private and public collections. This woman was made to be a children's author. Her passion for children's literature have benefited many students and teachers. She visits over 150 schools each year as a guest author. She is still living in Minnesota today with her husband, their three children and their dog. Her latest book is "This Morning Sam Went to Mars- A Book About Paying Attention." I love that she writes her books in a way that will teach young students valuable lessons without preaching to them! I also love how involved she is with so many schools and still visits today! I would love for her to come to the class I will finally have one day!
I found all of this information on her blog. Her blog is great! It has a lot of information and this adorable "doodles" section where you can find cute little drawings she does just because!
I thoroughly enjoyed reading her book to my kids. They loved it and we even did a bulletin board about what we had learned from her book. I hope you enjoy reading her work!
