Kerry Aradhya has loved playing with words since she was a little girl growing up in Erie, Pennsylvania. Today she is the author of the picture book biography ERNO RUBIK AND HIS MAGIC CUBE (illustrated by Kara Kramer and published by Peachtree), which has been translated into six languages and won numerous accolades including a Mathical Book Prize Honor. She has also published more than a dozen poems in award-winning children’s magazines such as Babybug, Ladybug, and Highlights High Five. When not writing for children, Kerry supports young writers as a collaborating artist and mentor with the nonprofit Society of Young Inklings, freelances as a scientific editor, dances as much as she can (even if it's around the house instead of in the studio), and occasionally muses about children’s literature and dance at her blog, Picture Books & Pirouettes. She lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with her husband, their two daughters, and one cute but naughty pooch named Sofie.
