Biographical
Sketch
Karla Kuskin was born July 17, 1932, in New York City. She began
writing and drawing at an early age. Her first book, Roar
and More, was written as part of the requirement for her B.A. degree
from Yale U. She had to create and print the book using a small press at the
university. The book was subsequently published successfully. Themes for her
books grew out of her New York childhood and her own experiences as a parent.
Many of her books are self-illustrated, and she thinks of herself primarily as
an illustrator. Her work has won many awards and honors.
