Being fired at age 15 from her part-time job at the library for reading too much, didn’t keep Kathleen Krull away from her love of books. After college, she spent 10 years working as a children’s book editor before becoming a full-time writer of stories for young people. Her award-winning titles include books from the 'Lives of' series - Musicians, Writers, Artists, Presidents and Extraordinary Women; and Harvesting Home: The Story of Cesar Chevaz. Kathleen talks about her most recent publication, 'A Woman for President: The Story of Victoria Woodhull,' at the 2004 National Book Festival. Ms. Krull is also a recipient of the Boston Globe/Horn Book Honor Award and the Christopher Award, and her titles have been included on American Library Association Notable Book lists.
