About Kaitlyn

Kaitlyn Duling believes in the power of words to change hearts, minds, and, ultimately—actions.

She is a graduate of the Program in Creative Writing at Knox College, where she studied poetry. An Illinoisan at heart, she currently resides in Boston, MA, where she has authored over one hundred books for children and teens. She loves to write, travel, and explore the city with her wife and friends.

She knows that knowledge of the past is the key to our future and wants to make sure that all children and families have access to high-quality information.
