From a box to a building, there's a story wherever you look. Kara B. Wilson writes for children (and anyone who knows how powerful picture books can be). She's been an active member of the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators (SCBWI) since 2014. Kara is also a member of 12x12, and The Writing Barn.

 

A former educator, Kara earned an M.Ed and a B.A. in Literature from the University of California, Santa Barbara. She's worn a variety of hats: theater director, nonprofit program manager, consultant, and digital marketing strategist. She's also a military spouse and a mother.

 

She loves reading, traveling, and exploring the Pacific Northwest's misty trails and beaches with her family.
