Longer Bio

Kerry Aradhya has loved puzzling over words and immersing herself in the creative process ever since she was a little girl growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania. She is the author of the picture book biography Ern ő Rubik and His Magic Cube (Peachtree, 2024) and more than a dozen poems in award-winning children’s magazines such as Babybug, Ladybug, and Highlights High Five. She also supports young writers in her role as a mentor and collaborating artist with the nonprofit Society of Young Inklings.

When not writing for children, Kerry works as a freelance science writer and editor, performs with a quirky modern dance ensemble, and occasionally muses about children’s literature and dance at her blog, Picture Books & Pirouettes. She received a BS in biology from Duke University (where she also fell head over heels for modern dance) and an MS in cell and molecular biology from Baylor College of Medicine.

Kerry lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, their two daughters, and one cute but naughty pooch named Sofie. Learn more at kerryaradhya.com.
