Kate Garchinsky illustrates and writes children’s books and educational media in her studio in Edgmont, PA. Her picture book, “The Secret Life of the Red Fox,” written by acclaimed wildlife author, Laurence Pringle, released this year and received a starred review from School Library Journal. In 2015 Kate Garchinsky received a grant from the Eckelberry Fellowship at the Academy of Natural Sciences, where she has spent time researching and illustrating extinction stories the Passenger Pigeon and the Carolina Parakeet.

Kate recently completed two more narrative non-fiction kids’ books, including a book about the little brown bat, and Rob Bierregaard’s kidlit debut, “Belle’s Journey: An Osprey Takes Flight.” Both will release in 2018.
